100 games into the season...
Marlins lose tonight again to the Reds and drop 3 of 4 to them. The Bucs now up 1.5 on the Fish with 3 games in hand on them. The Pirates have a real chance this weekend to make this a two team race between themselves and the Cards with 2 or 3 wins. Big big series this weekend to try and create some more seperation.

I always enjoy the + or - against Iowa's predictions -- and I think others do as well. So give us something to measure those 37 wins against. Okay I will do my best to break down every series the rest of the way and how we can get to 37 wins to get a wildcard spot. There are 62 games remaining so here goes. Keep in mind 34 of the 62 games remaining are against the Brewers, Braves, Reds, Padres, and Phillies. So you have to win if not all then most of those series against those teams.

Okay quick update on how things are progressing here since I made this thread a month ago today. I said at the end of this weekend series with the Brewers the Pirates would have 17 wins. If they complete the sweep in Milwaukee today they will have 15 wins which will leave me at a -2 of my original prediction. I still think it's going to take around 85-89 wins to get one of those wildcard spots. I said 89 would get it done for sure. In order to do that the Pirates have to go 23-12 in their last 35 games which will be not be easy but is definitely doable looking at who they have left on the schedule.
