Well, the math gets tough if this result holds. 23 games remain for both STL and MIL. 7 games head-to-head. If the Crew wins 4 of those 7 games, they still need to go 11-5 in the remainder to win the division outright if the Cards play .500 ball in the rest of theirs. You can adjust the figures from there to examine different scenarios. STL doesn' t play a single game against any team remotely in the playoff chase other than MIL the rest of the season and 6 games against COL and ARZ. MIL has 3 games at PIT, 4 with the marginally relevant Marlins.
