The San Francisco Giants are almost surely not going to make the playoffs. Sure, they’re a 10-game winning streak away from getting right back in it, and a perma-.500 team has a one-in-1,024 chance of having that happen, but, you know . . . them odds ain’t great.
As currently constructed, the team is heading for a repeat next year. Most of their players are still under (rather large) contracts, everyone will be a year older, Johnny Cueto will miss the bulk, or all of the season, and Jeff Samardzija will be a football player-sized question mark.
