So if the Brewers make the playoffs, they don't really belong there because they got help from the Padres and Giants? The Brewers recently got swept in a four-game series by the Reds. The Cards were swept over the weekend by the Cubs. The Rockies, Brewers and Cards are all flawed teams, but one of them is going to the playoffs - and no matter which one makes it, they will be there in part because of wins recorded by other teams.
