20 games to go and still hanging around the postseason contenders! Half game back for the last wild card spot. 3 games behind for the division. The Oracle gives me 47% chance.
Just noticed the brutal schedule. It's just not bad enough the opponents are brutal, but the schedule is a nightmare. The whole thing is over in 181 game days, so just 19 days off, of which 4 are around the all-star game. Compare to the standard 30-team schedule which takes 187 game days, therefore has 25 days off. No wonder micro-ing every game at perfect level is so important. You also need 4 or 5 pitchers in reserve to avoid gassed bullpens. Twenty games to go and no more days off, but it's too nice a day to stay inside.
