Frankly our defense is so spectacular it has kept us in many games we'd normally have lost in years past. Stops losing streaks before they begin. We have plenty of games left withe Cleve anyway.

We need them to have another one as well. Difference between us and SF is that when they got hot, the rest of their division did not. For us, we are playing our best baseball of the year, but so is Cleveland and Detroit. That is how we could win 11 of 12 and not gain in the standings at all. We just need to stay hot and hope those two cool off. We also need to figure out how to beat Cleveland since we seem to have Detroit's number. The goal is to have at least a 2-3 game lead heading into the final series because Detroit ends the season against the Marlins and fully expect them to sweep Miami.
