Sunday, September 27 will mark the end of the 2020 regular season. 16 days remain from now until then, and it’s time to do some scoreboard watching.
More specifically: It’s time to scoreboard watch the San Francisco Giants, Milwaukee Brewers and Miami Marlins.
(And perhaps the St. Louis Cardinals and Philadelphia Phillies.)
The Dodgers have 15 games remaining, and currently lead the Rockies by 10.5 games. San Diego has 14 games left, and is up on Colorado by seven games. It is thereby more likely (far more likely) that a wild card appearance would push the Rockies into October, instead of a top-two divisional finish.
