| Team | Wins | Losses | Games Left |
| Cardinals | 8 | 7 | 0 |
| Dodgers | 1 | 6 | 0 |
| Giants | 3 | 3 | 0 |
| Braves | 2 | 2 | 3 |
| Reds | 6 | 6 | 3 |
As it stands right now, the Reds are pretty much out of reach. The Pirates are nine games back with just 32 games left to play, so unless the Reds really collapse the Pirates will have to hope for a Wild Card spot.
Right now the Braves have the first Wild Card spot and are 3.5 games ahead of the Pirates. The Cardinals have the second spot and they are just 1 game ahead of us. The Dodgers are 1.5 behind the Pirates and 3.5 behind the Giants for their division lead. They play the Giants six more times this year, so that division is still very much up for grabs.
The Pirates will end the season tied with the Giants in terms of head-to-head record. If that tie needs to be broken, the Giants will have the edge over the Pirates because they have a better record against the National League. The only way it would come down to that is if there is a three way tie for a Wild Card spot, or if there is a two way tie for the first Wild Card spot.
As you can see, the final series of the year against the Braves could be a big one since the two teams are tied in the head-to-head records. What we do right now is that the Pirates have the tiebreak over the Cardinals, and don't have it over the Dodgers and Giants.
The ideal situation is for the Pirates to win enough down the stretch to win the first Wild Card spot and not have to worry about any tiebreaking situation, so let's just hope that happens.
