    If we get 1 more, we hold serve, 2 games, massive gap, a 4 game sweep, well yeah.

    down to 13 with a 9.
    Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
    And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;......

    And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
    The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
    Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

    We have 20 games left. If we go 10-10, the Nats have to go 20-2 to tie us.

    Maybe I’m figuring it wrong but I have that number as 8.

    163 - 88 Braves wins - 67 Diamondbacks losses = 8

    Nope, you're right. I looked wrong and figured to the Cubs.

    MN=10. 9.5 games up on Nats
    Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth

    And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
    The high untrespassed sanctity of space,

    Can't wait to check Fangraphs to see if this was the official death blow or not

    10 for the division and 5 for playoff berth. Awesome stretch we’ve been on.

    Ugh, not the death blow. Up to 99.8%.

    We're gonna lose if we don't land the death blow soon.

    The Nationals are just better in every way. Just accept Fangraphs' truth.
