Not really. Sure, it matters what team you bring to the playoffs. But a team's performance heading in to the playoffs isn't predictive of playoffs success.
Sure, I'm a little concerned about Votto and Chapman being full strength. But I couldn't care less how the team performs in September so long as we take the division.
Being "hot" as a team might make us feel more confident, but it doesn't really help the team's chances of winning moving forward.
