Giants doing favors...who would've thought

The Nationals are now only 1/2 a game behind the Giants. You have to wonder if they have a late run in them. A lot of games to make up but worth watching.

Playoff probablility up to 95% now

Giants 6 game losing streak came at a great time

 

[Bear Pride]

As of today it resides at 87

As of today it's 22! One third of the games it takes the Sox to reach 500. :lol:

The Sox are 66 games under .500?

28 is also the Cubs Magic Number. That's their number to clinch home field for the WC game.

Predicting the Cubs go 14-10 the rest of the way.

Best part:

Cubs NLC elimination number stays at 19 for the 3rd consecutive day

If they make it 4 tomorrow, I will start to believe

Cubs magic number to clinch now 17, WC HFA down to 27

I don't think they pitch on short rest Arietta on the 19th

They won't pitch "Arietta" on the 19th or any other day. I guarantee it.

 

[chibears55]

They wont pitch Lester and Arrieta on same day (DH)

Probably see Wada pitch one of those games

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

Maddon already announced that they are going to set up the rotation this week to pitch Arrieta for the playoff game.

I do this a lot :lol:

What day would the play off game fall on? Maddon did say that he is lining Arrieta up for it. On top of that no one else would pitch game 1. So Lester and Arrieta have to flip. It makes perfect sense to do that. I wouldn't be surprised if they do that on the DH. They need to try and sweep that series vs give a game away.

WC game is set for the Wednesday after season

As it stands now with Arrieta pitching today he will be scheduled to pitch the Saturday game..
