19 games left to play:
1 vs Twins HOME (have lost the season series already, but can put them farther behind us in WC and division) @Yankees for 3 (1-3 in KC in June) @Pirates for 3 (currently 4-6 in their last 10, in last in the NL Central and 12 out of WC) 3 vs Tigers HOME (7-3 so far this year, Tigers hanging on to fading chance at last WC) 3 vs Giants HOME (8.5 out of division and WC. 3-7 in last 10) @Nationals for 3 (21 out of division, 14 out of WC) @Braves for 3 (Fighting with Mets, Diamondbacks, and Padres for WC position, all within 3 games currently) Of 6 remaining series we have a better team on paper in 4 of them, are even in one, and are underdogs in one. I think it's reasonable to assume we finish: L vs MIN 1-2 vs NYY 2-1 vs PIT 2-1 vs DET 2-1 vs SF 2-1 vs WAS 1-2 vs ATL That's 10-9 leaving us at 88-74 BAL and NYY only need 6 wins to get to 88. Only one of them affect us in WC CLE needs 7 wins to get to 88 and has season series MIN would have to go at least 12-8 (they only need to tie since they won season series) BOS would have to go 16-4 (only need to tie us) DET would have to go 17-2 (we have that season series locked up already, they are not a threat to us) Last edited by DJay23; 09-08-2024 at 07:39 AM.. |

I don’t want to be overconfident, because baseball is a strange bird and sometimes baseball happens, but I think we’re going to the playoffs, sadly we’ll be doing it with Vinnie watching from the dugout. But man, what a year it’s been! A pitching rotation that is right up there with the best we’ve ever had. Bobby turning into a true superstar before our eyes. And an eye toward next year and obvious clear needs to keep us in contention as hopefully our meager farm gets reseeded and continues to grow. |

They have 8 of their final 19 vs the Yankees, Padres, and Astros. The other 11 are vs the A's and Rangers. Seems like a tall order to me. |
