going to have a chance.

6 each remaining vs. COL, ARI, and LAD. Best hope, I'll say the Giants go 11-7 through those 18 games. If they play the NL West like they have, they'll go 7-11.

7 left against SD. I'm optimistic and bet they'll go 4-3

3 @ Chicago - giants lose 2/3

3 at home vs. Milwaukee. Giants sweep

So what's that, 19-12 if we're being optimistic? I bet that's enough to get them into the playoffs.

If we're being realistic, it's probably 15-16, which means another lonely October.

The difference (duh) will be starting pitching. If they get pitching like they did in April and May, they'll approach the first number. If it's August all over again, they'll suffer the latter.
