Even though they sit at 58-57 they are only 1.5 GB of a wild card berth, but a soft season ending schedule gives Arizona a very real shot of grabbling a postseason spot, Greinke or no Greinke.
They got three very tough games starting tonight in LA against your 1927 Yankees and your 2019 World Series winners (some sarcasm there from your pal Nasher) then 10 straight games against sub .500 teams.
They should go 8-5 in those next 13.
Then three at the Brees, two at the Giants. Four toughies at home vs. LAD.
Look at the schedule from 9/13 to the end of season,
It's softer than butter.
85 wins is not out of the question.
