So you're saying there's a chance?

The Braves won last night and our playoff odds went from 17% to 18%?

It's Baseball Prospective. DO NOT QUESTION IT!!!

[cards2468]

Braves 88-67
Cardinals 85-69

If the Cards win out, they end up at 93-69, the Braves would have to go 5-2 to force a 1 game playoff
If the Cards take 2 out of 3 in the remaining 3 series, they end up at 90-72, the Braves would have to go 2-5 to force a 1 game playoff

Eitherway, if the Cards can be 1 game back going into the final series (Cards win tonight with a Braves loss, and then a Cards win tomorrow, then match each other thru the weekend), I think we have a chance.

This team is on a mission from the Baseball Gods...we are not losing anymore this year

I'm guessing that's because the Giants lost.

ETA: I'm seeing 13.5%.

Atl: 7 games left, 88 wins

Stl: 8 games left, 85 wins

If stl goes 7-1 (92 wins), Atl needs to go 3-4 (91 wins) for us to get in (or 4-3 to force a playoff)

Cards:
2 vs Nym
3 vs Chi
3 @ Hou

Atlanta:
1 @ Fla
3 @ Was
3 vs Phi

I really could see 4-3 from the Bravos (win vs. Fla, win 2/3 vs. Was, win 1/3 vs. Phi). I think we'll be lucky for them to go 3-4. Gotta win... a lot.

You using the real prospectus? I just pulled it off ESPN's Standings. I hadn't actually paid attention to the Giants. Good call.

One thing worth pointing out that helps our chances: we miss Bud Norris when we play Houston.

One thing I noticed was, as of now, Minor (who just got rocked by Fla) is scheduled to toss the third game of the WAS series. I could see that being a rubber game and the one our season hinges on.

I actually feel like the Cardinals control their own destiny. If they win their remaining games, all of them, they'll get in. No way the Braves go 6-1 over their last 7 games.
