So, here we are. After 159 games for the Diamondbacks, and an appropriate amount of delight, disaster and angst... We still don’t know if the team will be playing into October. The team holds their fate in their own hands: a sweep of the series against San Diego will not only guarantee a post-season spot, it could end up toppling the Padres out of the #4 seed. Any other result, and the Diamondbacks will find themselves engaging in some final weekend scoreboard watching. Indeed, it could end up that their fate will be unknown even after game #162 is completed, because of the unprecedented postponement of the two Mets-Braves contests until Monday.
D-backs fans: prepare for sweaty palms
