That’s what I think the D-backs need to go down the stretch to get into the playoffs. 6-5 might possibly be enough, but that would be pretty dicey. The logic for that number is, it would take Arizona to a final tally of 86 wins. That means two of the three team behind us would need to go the following or better, in order to surpass the D-backs in the wlld-card race)
- Cubs 9-3 (we own the tie-breaker, so they would have to reach 87 wins).
- Reds: 7-3
- Marlins: 8-3
The Reds I can certainly see potentially doing it, and I feel they are the biggest threat to the D-backs in these final two weeks.
