The Diamondbacks are at the back of the pack in a race to 88, which is generally the number of wins it takes to get into the playoffs.
Can they do it? Of course, they can. Anything is possible.
A better question is are they likely to beat out the half dozen or so teams they’re competing with for one of two wild-cards spots? The answer there is, no.
We’ll show the work here in a moment, but Arizona can really only lose 11 more games over the remaining 36 to have a realistic shot.
That’s a tough ask under normal circumstances, but it’s especially daunting when you consider that several of teams that the Diamondbacks have left on the schedule own them.
