Barring epic disaster, Philly should hold top seed.

If the WC comes out of West, Philly plays them and Reds would play NL West division champ

If the WC comes out of East (Atl) then Philly plays the weaker record of other division champs (Cin and ??)

so check back in about a week

yes

Essentially, Top Seed plays WC except if that WC is from same division (Atl in this case). Next step would be Top Seed vs "third seed".

Similar stakes in AL where the AL East winner cannot meet up with the WC since they will both be in same division.

That, if the AL East winner = Top Seed

If Minn gets Top Seed, they would play WC and the AL East winner would face Texas

Philly is a lock to win the West hands down. They got it all, the best pitching staff and can score more then one run a game. If the Giants could figure out how to score more then one run a game then they could give Philly a run.

Atlanta is a joke, SD is a joke, and Cincinnati will be happy just reaching the playoffs. Their pitchers are too Jekyll and Hyde.
