>>The Diamondbacks and Brewers are neck and neck for the better record between them, the Brewers holding a one game lead. It looks like that will determine which of them gets the Phillies in the first round.

The good news for the Braves is that they won't face Halladay at all or Lee again. Oswalt starts tonight and he's looked pretty good his last few starts.

But for the last one, if memory serves.

Still hate to have to face them. But, it's baseball, so you just never know.
