Giant Collapse

Sitting with the best record in the MLB at the All-Star break, the Giants seemed poised to make a run for yet another title this year. A championship would continue a prolific winning trend, in which the Giants have won a title in each even year, starting in 2010.

Fast forward to Sept. 15, when the Giants were clinging to a four game lead over the Cardinals for the second wild card spot. After a head-to-head series between the two playoff contenders and a cringeworthy sweep to the lowly Padres, the Giants lead is down to a single game ahead of the Cardinals for the second wild card.
