The National League playoffs are set, with the Pittsburgh Pirates taking on the Chicago Cubs in the wild-card playoff for a spot against St. Louis Cardinals in one National League Division Series matchup. In the other NLDS, the Dodgers will take on the New York Mets.

Most people favor the Cardinals to advance to the World Series from the NL, but St. Louis will have a tough matchup with the Cubs or the Pirates, who both have better records than the Dodgers or the Mets even though they are playing the wild-card game.

How would you rank the five NL teams in the playoffs? Using our ranker program below, please put the five teams in order, with No. 1 being the team you think has the best chance of making the World Series and No. 5 being the team with the least chance.
