The Cards are 2 games up with 4 to play. If Houston passes them then the Cards will not make the playoffs. They would be in third place in the wild card race.
The Cards are 1 game up, but they are up 2 in the loss column.
I wonder how motivated the Giants are going to be if they have to play the Cards on Monday?
At least my Tigers are in, but losing 2 of 3 to the Jays is not what we needed. Oh well, at least we get the Royals this weekend.
