Makakilo: I predict they will secure the second or third Wild Card in the NL. My thoughts follow:
On 15 September, FanGraphs projected standings showed the Mets would reach 88 wins (the lowest of the 4 teams competing for a NL Wild Card Berth). [Update: The Mets lost on Sunday!] My view is it’s likely that 89 wins will be enough for the Diamondbacks to reach the playoffs.
The required 89 wins can be realized with 2 wins vs Giants, 2 wins vs Rockies, 1 win vs Brewers (out of 4 games that remain vs Brewers after Sunday’s D-back win), and 1 win vs Padres.
