Magic number is now 21!

 

[KilgoreTrout]

We are a great road team, but here come 9 games at home, starting tomorrow, with no days off. Can’t slip up. Need to take care of business against the Angels. Twins are down but not out. They are at home for 3 against KC, then in Cleveland for 5.

Is Ohtani slated to pitch vs us?

I looked last night and not as of right now.

 

[Lee]

Is Ohtani slated to pitch vs us?

No, but we have Pinkington and Morris are going in the first 2 games

 

[TxBuckeye]

Is Ohtani slated to pitch vs us?

He just pitched yesterday

 

[petes999]

Is Ohtani slated to pitch vs us?

No he went yesterday. We get 3 lefties ... Detmers, Suarez, Sandoval ... so plenty of Miller and Straw in the line-up. Yet, for Sept, Straw is 10 of 34 and Miller is 5 of 20 ... not great but better than they have been.

 

[CATS44]

The situation has pivoted a great deal this weekend to our great benefit.

The mathematics are very good, but the realities are even better.

We are four ahead of Chicago in the loss column...five ahead of Minnesota. But the reality is that we are within one win vs both of owning the tie breaker....which makes it five and six in the loss column.

If we only won one vs both of them, we would still be ahead in the loss column...and still be staring at those six home games at the end vs KC.
