The San Francisco Giants could still make the playoffs, but their obituary has already been written, edited, and filed. All that’s left to do is hit the publish button. Their playoff odds have been hovering right at 1.0% for a while now, and your eye test tells you that’s generous.
So while it isn’t fully time to shift our sights toward future seasons, it mostly is. Which leaves me with a question: when will the Giants next make the playoffs?
After they won the division last year with an MLB-best and franchise-record 107 wins, no one was hoping to spending this season wondering when they’ll next play more than 162 games.
