The odds of the Giants staying in the Wild Card hunt diminish with every inning, but thanks to the best July record since 1913, they’re still hanging in there, provided they can tread water or hold serve in the month of August. Yes, that’s right, ol’ gruff troll monster me really wants the Giants to try to hang in there another month, if for no other reason than to scare the baseball off the other, more “legitimate” teams vying for the Wild Card.
That July record of 19-6 is a .760 winning percentage. The 1913 team went 25-6 (.
