Rebs are up to 49-31 and leading by a handful; them accidentally winning an LDS and tumbling into Perfect could make things *interesting*.
… Chris Sale pitched a no-hitter in June, so that's "no PP" taken care of… at least as far as players named Chris Sale are concerned.
Here are the limits of my insidious pack luck of recent days though; THIS team would need a perfect card popped. But the best I could do in recorded history was a Michael Brantley….
The Critters have returned above .500, now at 44-37, half a game back in their division, thanks to a 14-game stretch where they won everything except one unfortunate encounter with Greg Maddux. They have not lost consecutive games since June 3. But a wild card will not be available - they will have to win the division to reach the postseason.
Finally, KC, who as expected are well off the pace at this point, 42-39, nine games removed from any sort of playoff spot, and still dropping. Especially games to them Fighting Saints, 1-5 with some ugly routs by now. Brrr!
