Happy Tuesday, San Francisco Giants fans!
After their latest victory, a 14-4 shellacking of the ex-Giant filled Pittsburgh Pirates, the Giants are now winners of 11 of their last 14 games.
More importantly, they’re 28-26, and currently occupying the third and final Wild Card spot in the National League standings.
The assumption assumption about the division was that the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres would battle for NL West supremacy, with the loser sliding into a Wild Card spot. The Giants and Arizona Diamondbacks would then have an uphill climb if they wanted to get into the postseason picture.
