July 23rd till end of season

We play the Cubs, Astros and Padres...... 29 times! 20 after the trade deadline. All three of them are going to trade everything that isnt nailed down.

IF we can avoid a June swoon/ getting slaughtered by the AL, we have a real shot to break the streak.. our schedule gets so much better.

good research,
that makes sense given the stacked deck we started with,
if we can go 20-9 through those, and end the rest of our schedule at 5 over, that will give us a +16 or

drum roll please ...............


89-73.

we need karstens back to last years form so we can have mcdonald, burnett, bedard, karstens, and a healthy morton or a finally ready owens and a stud, decently rested pen.
in aug, mix in one or 2 trades, hopefully more like lee and less like ludwick.
then in sept, we get marte, gorkys for D, Darnaud for speed, cole as a middle relief lock down stud, and several other AAA pen guys to really lock all doors and shut all windows.
