Massive Tie Scenario
Friday was a good day for the massive tie scenario. The Marlins and Astros won, while the Phillies and Brewers lost. The following table show the records needed for a five-way tie with the most wins:
| Team | Record |
|---|
| Mets | 4-5 |
| Phillies | 4-4 |
| Brewers | 6-2 |
| Astros | 9-0 |
| Marlins | 9-0 |
The Brewers are going to need to turn it on if they are going to catch one of the NL East teams at this point. For today:
- Milwaukee defeats Cincinnati
- Houston defeats Pittsburgh
- Atlanta defeats New York
- Florida defeats Philadelphia
The magic number for both the Mets and Phillies to make the playoffs stands at seven.
