Down the stretch they come in the National League. Atlanta currently has a comfortable lead for the 1st NL Wild Card, meanwhile that 2nd Wild Card position is far from settled with 3 weeks remaining in the 2012 Major League Baseball season. Commissioner Bud Selig implemented the 2nd Wild Card affective for the 2012 season over this past off season. Many people such as myself thought it wasn't such a good idea. Now with weeks remaining several National League teams have a chance to play in October. Milwaukee and Philadelphia are the hottest teams and are only 3 games back of the defending World Series Champion St. Louis Cardinals. St. Louis has been struggling lately behind them are the new look LA Dodgers and Pittsburgh Pirates. Each team will jockey for position to see who will advance. Also for the AL and NL Wild Card winners, the two teams will play one another in a 1 game playoff, the winner of that game advances to Division Series with the 1st 2 games at home.
