Updated NL Wildcard Scenarios: September 27th

Everyone still involved in the race for the NL's second wildcard won on Tuesday night. While wins are always preferred to losses for the Brewers -- especially at this point in the season -- the 'everyone wins' scenario is one that favors the Colorado Rockies as they try to run out the clock on the regular season.

The Rockies have 4 games remaining this year and still hold their 1.5-game lead over the Brewers and 2.5-game lead over the Cardinals. Essentially, that means the Brewers would have to go +2 over Colorado to close out the year to catch them just to force a Game 163. The Cardinals would have to go +3.

Remaining Schedules

Colorado - 1 vs. Miami, 3 vs. Los Angeles Dodgers
Milwaukee - 2 vs. Cincinnati, 3 @ St. Louis
St. Louis - 2 vs. Chicago, 3 vs. Milwaukee
