More Important Series: Brewers-Cardinals or Phillies-Mets?

Question

The Brewers & Cardinals still have 2 games to play after this series. The Philles & Mets have 5 games to play after this series.

Answer 1

Brewers & Cards

Both teams are closing in on the Cubbies, and it has huge implications on the NL wild-card race as well.  It's the last time they'll play all season.  A sweep for either team would give at least control of 2nd place (and the wild card spot), while the loser would be playing catch-up the rest of the way.

This kind of depends on whether you're a fan of an NL East of Central team though!

Answer 2

Brewers-Cardinals, only because that series seems much more interesting than the Phillies-Mets series.  The Brewers-Cardinals could possibly "beat up" on one another in the standings, while allowing the Cubs to gain more ground in the process.

Answer 3

brewers and cards

Answer 4

i say phillies mets because i feel like last year it could come down to the wire and maybe a tremendous choke could happen to propel one team to victory. of course im also a phils fan C=

Answer 5

Phillies-Mets.

Less than 1 month ago, the Mets were the epitome of medocrity and immense underachievement. Now, the Mets have totally reversed their fortunes. Even with that, the Marlins are breathing down both teams' necks.

Much like in the Central, but no one, especially myself, expected the Mets to be where they are.

Answer 6

both are extremely important in their own way...the brewers-cards series will be important for the wild card race, and the phils-mets will be important for the nl east race, but i would say brewers-cards since that race is currently tighter

Answer 7

Defintely the Brewers and Cardinals because the loser of this series could possibly be 5 games out  behind the cubs by the time its over.  The Phillies Mets series is important but not as important since they have more games to play.

Answer 8

phillies-mets sweetheart cause who ever wins that is another series closer to winning the NL east the Brewers-Cardinal series would be a good one don't get me wrong but the phillies-mets has more riding on it as of right now that could change by the end of august we could be saying the right opposite thing

Answer 9

phillies-mets

its for first place and the brewers/cards are also chasing the cubs.

Answer 10

Brewers cardinals this is the last time they play all year and if the brewers blow it it'll be tough to make those games up

Answer 11

Cubs Baby!!!!

Answer 12

phils and mets they r going for 1st

go red sox

Answer 13

Phills

Answer 14

Phillies and the Mets, both of these teams are under immense pressure to keep the NL east tight.The Marlins have won 8 of their last 11 games and are a threat. The Phillies or the Mets could lose much ground in the NL east if one of these teams loses the series.

Answer 15

Each series is really a big series because the team that loses the series will have a tough time making the games up. There are 3 teams in each division race. The Mets play the Marlins next week, and I believe the Brewers play the Cubs at that time too.

The thing here is had the Brewers and the Mets played the way that they're capable of playing all year, these series wouldn't be as big right now.
