I agree we don't look like a playoff teams, but we are still better than the competition. ESPN still has our odds of making the playoffs at 43%. That is much better than the Padres (27%) or the Cards (19%). We have gone 4-6 over our last 10 games while the Pads are 3-7 and the Cards 5-5. So no other team is really hot either.
Lets not sugar coat it Fred
Over their last 18 games they're 6-12 and have lost SIX series in a row including losing series to the Marlins, Cubs, and Tigers none of which are good ball clubs. They've scored 2 runs or less in 9 of those 18 games. Coming into tonight's game their team batting average is .200 over the last dozen games or so.
And they're in real danger of losing tonight vs friggin Pirates.
Are they still in it ? sure Are they scaring any teams that will be in playoffs ?
6-13
