The SF Giants were dealt a disappointing blow to their Wild Card hopes after they suffered back-to-back losses against the hated Dodgers with their aces on the mound. With the Mets also defeating the Rangers in extras on Sunday, the Giants currently sit 1.5 games behind them in the chase for the third and final Wild Card spot. It is not, however, a two-horse race for the coveted ticket to the postseason. Another team in the Giants’ own division is neck-and-neck with them in the hunt.
The Diamondbacks, despite flying under the radar pretty much all season, have had a very similar year to the Giants.
