If The Mets Had Won

If the Mets had beaten the Marlins on Sunday we all know they would have played a 1-game playoff with the Phillies to determine the winner of the National League East.
The loser of that game would still be in a 3-way tie with the Rockies and Padres for the wild card.
Those three teams would have played a 2-game playoff. The team with the best record against the other two would get a bye, the other two would play on Tuesday, the winner plays Wednesday.
So let's say the Mets won on Sunday. If they lost to Philadelphia on Philadelphia on Monday they would have played the Padres in San Diego on Tuesday. If they won they would have played the Rockies in New York on Wednesday. Then if they won they would have started the NLDS in Arizona on Thursday.
Not positive about all that, but I'm pretty sure that's the way it would have shaken out.
Then again if the Mets had only lost 7 of their last 8 against the Phillies, instead of all 8, they would have won the division outright.
