ESPN is nuts.
SOS for remainder of season (according to Tankathon). Pads (8th). Giants (9th) Brewers (14th). Phillies (26th). Cardinals (29)
Giants play Pads 6 more times and have a 3 game series at home vs Phillies. They will need to go at least 4-2 vs Pads and 2-1 vs Phillies. They also play a 1 game “series” in Milwaukee after a tough 9 game stretch - 3 game series vs Pads and Phils at home followed by 3 at Dodgers.
Giants starting pitching is very good. And Doval is beginning to look like a big time closer. But getting through the 7th and 8th with their bullpen is, to put it mildly, an adventure.
Team is healthiest it’s been all season. That helps. Wade has been coming on along with Bart. Estrada and Flores have been their most consistent hitters. Gonzalez is in a big slump.
To get going on all cylinders they need Belt, Crawford Pederson Longoria to get hot. Pederson hasn’t hit an HR since late June.
