The Florida Marlins were eliminated from postseason play last night with a 5-4 loss to Washington combined with Philadelphia's 6-5 win over Colorado.
I missed this last night as my math was off, but the RIOT number people got it right.
The Marlins have 83 losses, so they can only win 79 games. The current wild card leader in the NL, San Diego has 77 wins. However, because the #3 and #4 teams in the wild card race, Los Angeles and Colorado have seven games left with each other, as well there being games left between San Diego and Los Angeles (3), San Diego and Colorado (3), and Philadelphia and Colorado (2), someone is going to get to 80 wins.
Besides, the two fish teams have already been eliminated in the Marlins and Rays.
