Maybe, but not “wishful” on my part. I am still rooting for the Phils to somehow catch the Mutts, without Harper. With Scherzer and deGrom, the Mutts have the best rotation in baseball, built for the post-season. The Phillies have the big two, but question marks beyond them, and a sudden rash of (hopefully, minor) injuries. Atlanta has weaker pitching, beyond Freid, who is having another good season. I would say 94% is rather high in terms of playoff probability at this point, even with the added slot this year, with St. Louis/Milwaukee, the Phils, Florida, SF contending with Atlanta for the two slots after the Dads.
