Today's Lineups
The D-backs come into the finale of this quick, two-game series in Kansas City, with a record of 56-66. A target of 72 wins would be an improvement of 20 wins on the fiasco which was the 2021 season, and I suspect might be enough to save Torey Lovullo’s skin. Getting there would mean going 16-24 over the remaining forty games. How likely is that? On a basic win percentage level, it seems likely: their pace to this point would give them 74.3 wins. Their Pythagorean record, based on runs scored and allowed is even better: it currently sits two games better, at 58-64, which would project forward to a final win tally of 77 wins. That’d be 25 games better: hard to argue with that improvement.
However, there are two factors which suggest those predictions are optimistic, both based on the remaining schedule. Firstly, is the previously mentione Carlos Correa Twins Jerseys d road-heavy nature of the remaining forty games. Only 17 are at home, with 23 away from Chase, where the D-backs have played significantly worse. If we use those win percentage splits (.500 at home, .414 away), the expectation drops a little, to 74 wins. But the big factor is how many of the remaining games are against good opponents. A staggering 90% of the remaining schedule is against teams currently at or above .500. The only “losing” games at time of writing are: today against the Royals and three in Coors Field.
la dodgers mlb jersey championships That may change. The Giants (six games) are exactly at .500, so they could switch into the losers’ bucket. But the D-backs have 10 games against the Dodgers and Astros, MLB Toysthe teams with the best records in their respective leagues. If we go with the current 36/4 split, and use the team’s W% against winning/losing teams (.364 and .625 respectively), that would be only 15.6 more wins for the D-backs, leaving the team just short of the target on 71.6 wins la dodgers mlb jersey cost . If the Giants drop, making it a 30/10 split, it projects to 17.2 more wins, 73.2 wins in total. Put another way, Torey’s position may come down to how his team plays against the Giants. They’re 8-5 so far, which may augur well for his ongoing employment!
