After the break....Our first 10 games, and 16 of 25 games are at Home.
Those 5 home series will be against teams who are currently 85-130 on the road.
Of the first 10 series (33 games) to start the 2nd half, our only Opponent who has a winning record right now will be Boston.
And it is important to do well in those early games after the break, right after those 33 games there's a home 3 vs. Cleveland, home 3 vs. Rockies, and 3 @Cleveland. Also, the last 17 games of the season are going to be brutal to try to make up ground in (11 straight road games, 4@Cleveland, 3@Toronto, 3@ChiSox, 1@NYY) and then 3 vs. Detroit, and 3. vs. Zona. I know not all those teams are amazing, but that is a lot of road games, and then 3 games vs another very good NL West team they'll have to push through to keep playoff hopes alive, if they are even doable at that point.
I'll be happy with 20-13 (or better) though in the first 33.
