"No debate about it- Tuesday night brings the most important game of the Miami Marlins season. Until Wednesday, that is. Which will be true until Thursday. Only to be surpassed by...well you get the pattern. It's playoff baseball the rest of the way for the Marlins, assuming of course that they keep winning and the Mets keep imploding. Every series, every game matters."
"After all, the Phillies have already clinched a spot in the postseason. What's more, they are very close to being locked into the No. 2 seed. Four games in front of the Dodgers and three games behind the Brewers, it would take a pretty massive collapse to cost them that coveted bye week. Almost as bad as the collapse the Brewers would have to endure to relinquish their hold on the top spot."
The Marlins face a stretch in which every remaining game carries playoff-level importance because a combination of wins and rival collapses could secure postseason entry. The Mets still can either reach the playoffs or serve as spoilers, so Miami must keep winning while hoping New York falters. The Phillies have already clinched a postseason berth and sit close to the No. 2 seed, with a significant margin over the Dodgers and a small gap behind the Brewers; a massive collapse would be required to change their current positioning. Collapses remain possible, so outcomes still matter.
