The San Francisco Giants were eliminated from playoff contention today when the Dodgers beat Arizona
The Giants have 81 losses. The Padres and Dodgers both (as of this time) have 79 wins. Both teams play the Rockies who have 76 wins. If the Padres went 2-1 against Colorado and won no other games, they would have 81 wins. However, the Rockies and Dodgers play each other seven times, so one team will have to win at least four games. If the Rockies won four of the games against the Dodgers, Los Angeles would still have 82 wins. If the Rockies won five of the games against the Dodgers, combined with their one theoretical win over the Padres, Colorado would have 82 wins.
