Halos After Game 98

...pump up the jam... - Harry How

You didn't think it'd go this well, did you? Why game 98? Because I wanted to explore this after game 100, but got impatient. Then I thought to myself, I'd like to see more Grant Green. Then I got really impatient and decided to take a look at what it took to reach the playoffs across the last 5 seasons.

Second Wild Card Spot:

First Wild Card Spot:

  • 2009 - Angels: 97-65

The Rest of the Way:

For the Angels to reach:

  • 90 wins: 31-33
  • 95 wins: 36-28
  • 100 wins: 41-23

  • Oakland - Home: 33 Road: 31 Opponent Avg. Winning Percentage: .481
  • Seattle - Home: 30 Road: 33 Opponent Avg. Winning Percentage: .513

Remaining Games Against Each Other:

  • Angels vs. Oakland - 10 games (4 home, 6 road) vs. Seattle - 7 games (4 home, 3 road)
  • Oakland vs. Angels - 10 games (6 home, 4 road) vs. Seattle - 6 games (3 home, 3 road)
  • Seattle vs. Angels - 7 games (3 home, 4 road) vs. Oakland - 6 games (3 home, 3 road)

The Wild Card Game is a spot no one wants to be in. Our first playoff trip in five years could be a short one. If both wild card spots go to the AL West, and the Halos take the second, that could mean a trip to Seattle to face Felix Hernandez. The first spot could mean King Felix at the Big A, who we played well enough to beat last Saturday, but a game I'm sure none of us wants to play. The above can really be summed up in two words, catch Oakland.
