Padres take the wildcard lead.

My point is we'll more than likely have to go through the Mets one way or another, so we'd be better off having to beat them 3 times, vice 4.

Of course, the ideal situation would be to win the division, beat the Cards in the 1st round while the WC upsets the Mets.

This is correct.
