If you have to miss your 1-2-3 of the rotation, then there is probably no better month than to lose them in this Diamondbacks’ month of June.
In the month of June the Diamondbacks have been unspectacular, but have gone 13-8 and have crawled back into the Wild Card chase, which is a terribly mediocre fight. But where there were a bunch of teams below .500 a few weeks ago fighting for the Wild Card leftovers, currently the final spots have been taken over by the Cardinals (.513) and Padres (.500). After losing against the Phillies, the Nationals have leaped over the Diamondbacks once again, with the Mets right behind us with the same winning (or losing) percentage and with Pirates, Cubs, Reds and Giants a maximum of 2 games behind us.
