Well this year they have the best record in baseball with great hitting and mediocre pitching, a formula they have always had in reverse. They only thing that might derail them in the post season is that same lack of pitching. Those bats may go cold and if they have to rely on their pitching alone they are sunk. They could face 1 or 2 hot pitchers in the post season that could shut them down like Schmidt and Ponson in SF or Schilling and Johson In Arizona.
They couldn't get a deal done before the trading deadline and now they have to wait for someone to pass through waivers. They desperately need middle relief and we'll see what comes through the waiver wire.
If they can secure some pitching a WS win is not out of reach.
