Abbott starting tonight. Can he continue the strong outings? Or is he going to start his normal August fading away?
That's pretty much the rest of the season for us regardless of how we do on this homestand.
6 game homestand, both against 1st place teams.
Then we go West for 9 games (3 against the 1st place Dodgers).
Then we have a 9 game homestand, 3 against the Cardinals and 3 against the 1st place Blue Jays, 3 against the Mets.
We have to go West again and play 3 against the surging Padres and then 3 games against an easy Athletics team (but still out West).
Then we have a final divisional gauntlet of @Cards, Cubs (4), Pirates, and @Brewers.
Our only 3 "easy" series for the rest of the year are series we have to travel out West to play (Angel, Diamondbacks, Athletics).
- - - -
14 series left
5 against 1st place teams
8 against current playoff teams
