My interpretation is that this week is used to determine both which 2 teams would be the two wild card teams AND which of the two wild card teams would qualify for the playoffs.
For this week, if
to go 0-8 and score 100 points,
to go 8-0, and
goes 4-4 and scores 200 points then
and
would both make the playoffs along with
and
NL is much more open
and
are in for sure, the wildcard spots and NL east is still up for grabs.
