I'll concede the East to Atl right now. This isn't about winning the East

Figure the Braves and Dodgers are already in.
So the Central and wildcards are in play.

The way pretty much everyone is playing right now, it'll take maaaaaybe 85 wins to get to the wildcard.

There's no reason to think any of the teams you listed would win 91, but there's no reason to think that NY, Phil, and Wash couldn't get to 85.
For the Nats, that's 25 wins out of 49 left. (going 25-24. Not unreasonable.)
For Philly, that's 26 wins out of 49 left. (going 26-23. Not unreasonable.)
For the Mets, that's 27 wins out of 49 left. (going 27-22. Not unreasonable.)

All that being said, any of these three teams could roll off 10 straight and change the topic immediately.

If the Braves go .500-ish (say 23-24) to finish out, the Mets will have to -- Freddyburg Hokie 08/07/2019 09:15AM

I prefer to look at it as they are 2.5 games back of a wild card ** -- Brown Water 08/07/2019 09:37AM
