Three Happy Outcomes yesterday: Losses by the Phillies, Brewers, and Padres. But four Unhappy Outcomes: Loss by the Mets, and wins by the Braves, Cardinals, and Dodgers. The good news, such as it is, is that the consolation prize of the Wild Card berth is drawing closer. Magic Number for the postseason is down to a mere 15, with 27 games remaining. The NHOP over the Braves has now risen to .500, meaning that the Mets no longer have an advantage there.
