100 wins possible?

I think everyone out there would admit we play better at home than on the road, But the Braves 30-30 road record is pretty decent I'd say. The other thing is I believe in my perusing only the Cardinals have played more road games than the Braves. After this series with an at worst 68-47 record, we'll have only 20 more road games. If we go say 2 games under .500 in those games we'd be 77-58 with our remaining 29 games to go. our current home record would have us at 20 or 21 wins in those games having us fall just shy. Now that's why I threw that 2 games under qualifier, if we can play .500 ball the rest of our road games and just one game over our current home stretch, we may be able to pull 100. Of course to more realistically do it, we would need to play better on the road than that because sustaining a .717 home win% is not gonna be remotely easy.
 
I don't care about 100 wins. I justt want one more win than the team with the second most wins in the league.

We look really good but in a playoff series its going to be tough to matchup with them. Their starting pitching is deeper and slightly better than ours.

That could chnage depending on Beachy though.

This.

Kershaw/Greinke/Ryu/Nolasco is really tough in a playoff series.

And it could change cause their offense right now is entirely dependent on Puig and HanRam who're playing out of their mind. What makes us dangerous is we have 3 guys who still have a lot of room to grow to their expected level of production. Bossman has an insane amount of room to potentially explode. Simmons still has some more to grow.

Dodgers offense could go cold come post season and having a SP that only lets up 1 run doesn't do much good if you can't score.

Dodgers also have Adrian and Kemp who at any point could go off. Yes, Kemp is hurt and we don't know if he will be healthy but if you can play the "if" game then so can I.

Adrian has been good all season long.

You are right on Kemp however.

At the end of the day, it comes down to pitching. Dodgers rotation is really tough in a short series. Not sure anyone outside of Washington has the starters to match them.
 
A-Gon is hitting right around his career norms. wouldn't say he can "go off" at any point any more than I'd say Mac or Justin can just go off.

Kemp you never know,
 
You know what? Screw it, I do want 100 wins. I'm not saying we should start Teheran on three days rest to make it happen, but while we've been a good team the last few years we haven't really been an elite sort of team since...gosh, 2004? 2003?

So, yeah, gimme 100. We're going to re-gain our position atop the division, we might has well rewind the clock to the 90's as much as possible.

Personally, I dont' need a 100 win season. I want to be the last team on the field holding up a championship trophy. This organization needs that more than a 100 win season.

Can only lose 17 games from here on out to get it.

Don't really care about that though.

32-17

Which is well above our season average win% but that's why I broke it down home vs away. With more home than away games left with our ability to play at home, who knows.
