Ok students today we are going to talk about the 2 teams
that are still alive with less than 10 games left in the season. These 2 teams
still have hope to maybe sneak in and take the 2nd Wild Card spot
from the defending champs. No one is catching the Braves by the way. Who are
these teams you may ask? Well 1st up is the LA Dodgers still
fighting for their lives and 2nd is the Milwaukee Brewers both teams
have strong pitching and hitting but both will have to win out in order to even
hope to take the spot…
3) LA Dodgers (82-75,
3GB for WC2, 41hmwins, 41rdwins): Now I have spoken t length about how wrong
I was predicting the Dodger would secure one of the Wild Card spots and advance
to the post season. Its looking like they would pretty much need to win all 5
of their last games and hope that the Cardinals lose at least 3 of theirs. I don’t
see that happening but with all the big moves that the Dodgers franchise made this
season they are poised to make a run at the NL West title. Gonzalez, Eithier, Kemp
are all locked up for years to come. So expect the Dodgers to keep it
interesting till the final game, but fall short at the end of the season…
4) Milwaukee Brewers
(80-77, 5GB for WC2, 46hmwins, 34rdwins: The Brewers have a fighting team
but at this point I believe that the cards would have to fall a very
unconventional way and both the Cardinals and the Dodgers would have to lose
all of their games and the Brewers would have to win all of theirs. Not that
the Brewers couldn’t go on that run its just that the Dodgers and Cardinals aren’t
likely to go on their losing streaks necessary to make it happen so very soon
the Brewers should be looking to next year. But expect them to be competing for
a wild card spot next year and for years to come…
