National League Wildcard Race

[Tanko]

We've got 3 teams vying for 2 spots. Current standings.

San Diego +1.5 games
Philly
Milwaukee -1.5 games

Philly
They have an uphill climb. 10 games left, all on the road. 3 @ CHC, 4 @ WAS, 3 @ HOU.
So the first 7 are winnable and the last 3 at Houston may also be because Houston will wrap things up for most AL wins by then so....

I'm thinking they go 6-3, maybe 7-2 over that stretch.

Milwaukee
9 games all are at home. 2 STL, 4 MIA, 3 ARI.
I expect them to lose at least one in each series and maybe 2 vs STL. 6-3 or 5-4.

San Diego
They play 9 games all at home. 3 LAD, 3 CWS, 3 SFG.
They actually play the toughest (most wins by opponents) closing schedule of all 3 teams. I'm betting they go 5-4, maybe 6-3.

If my guesses are right, then Pads, Phillies make the playoffs. If Philly stumbles a little, then Brewers move ahead or they tie. Philly owns the tie-breaker with a 4-2 record vs Brewers.

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?

if padres get hot right now they can win the ws but the only obstacle is they are going to have to be able to beat the dodgers.

I think that the Brewers got hot and the Phillies struggle down the stretch

 

[Seahawkharry]

Padres look good to compete

 

[Tanko]

I think Brewers and Padres do their normal business and win as expected. Its just a matter of if Philly will fold.

American league locked in?

American league locked in?

Yeah. With Baltimore 4 games out with 10 to go. I don't see them catching Seattle.

Thank-you for this. I haven't followed anything since the all-star break which is a good thing for me. Milwaukee is boring. I hope they are out.
