...are we still in the running for home field advantage if we happen to face SD, SF, or Atlanta?
No, SD and SF hold a tiebreaker over us, so we're locked in as the #3. The only thing that can change for us is if ATL doesn't win the Wildcard and it comes out of the West, then Philly will play the WC winner while we travel out West.
I think that's the scenario anyway...lol
It's possible if the Braves win only 1 game, and the Padres win the next two that we might not know who we play until Tuesday. If it ends up a 3 way tie at 91 wins, The Giants and Padres would play for the division title on Monday. The loser of that game would play the Braves on Tuesday to determine the Wildcard winner.
