That said what you are suggesting would be quite a turnaround. I would say it is actually helpful that they get to play the teams above them. If you win you are picking up ground on someone.

Our issues this year hasn't been who we are playing, the issue has been our own underwhelming play.
Here's the math.
62-55 (current)
45 games left
87 wins got you in the NL WC last year
If we play close to what we have played recently and finish those 45 games with a totally doable 26-19. That gets us to 88 wins.
28-17 gets us 90 wins.
