It’s important in the sense for NLCS home field advantage which I think ultimately decides who goes to the World Series… but that’s only if these two teams get that far, which we saw wasn’t the case last year despite having the two best records.
With that said, I think it’d be good for us if we at least split. Dodgers would have the upper hand psychologically if they take 3 games this weekend for a 5-2 season series.
Like I said a week ago, this series is really the closest thing we’ll have to meaningful baseball until the postseason, it’d be nice if we played accordingly.

I think the “psychological” aspect is way overblown. If we get bulldozed I don’t think that’s going to have any impact on games almost two months away. Dodgers are playing at a 140 win pace over the last 5 weeks. Zero chance they’ll be playing anywhere near that level in 50 days.
The difference in quality between the Phillies and Cubs/Dbacks/Reds/Giants is wide enough that I think it’s a real tossup when you argue about whether the 1 or 2 seed is better. Joe Davis and the guys on Dodgers broadcast last night indicated they think the 2 seed would be the preference on their side but obviously you’re not going to lose games in hopes of falling behind them.
I am really just wanting to get through this series. There are going to be some wild overreactions on both the winning and losing sides.
