There's very little left to play for today: all 4 division series matchups have been determined as the Houston Astros were crunched. San Francisco and Atlanta are still battling for homefield advantage in the NLCS.

Kerry Wood won't have to pitch Sunday and will almost ceratinly be the game 1 starter against Russ Ortiz and the Braves. The Astros folded their tent and the Cubs played solid baseball to clinch

I think Jimy Williams didn't get the most out of his club. Outside of Atlanta, no National League team can match the quality of Houston's 6 best players: Kent, Bagwell, Berkman, Oswalt, Dotel and Wagner. Surround that with several good players (and the Astros have those too) and you ought to win 95 games.

The Giants won 4 of 6 from the Braves, so should Atlanta lose and the Giants win, San Francisco will be the #1 seed in the NL playoffs. If both clubs win or both lose, the #1 seed will go to Atlanta. In that scenario, the Giants would ordinarily have to play a make-up game against the Mets in New York, but because of travel difficulties they requested that a make-up game not be played under those circumstances.
