with a shit load of travel on a very, very, tight schedule

The teams would be seeded by they season record against each other:

The Mets went 4-3 against the Giants.
The Cardinals went 4-3 against the Giants.
The Mets went 3-3 against the Cardinals

Game 1: Club A hosts Club B. Winner is the first wild card.
Game 2: Club C hosts Loser of Game 1. Winner is the second wild card.
Game 3: First Wild Card hosts Second Wild Card. Winner advances to NLDS.

All this in three days!
