Not out of the question. Obviously their play on the field doesn't inspire much confidence, but a couple 3 or 4 game winning streaks or winning 2 of 3 and not losing 4 or 5 in a row very often isn't a hard ask.
There are 33 opponent series left. 26, 3 games series, one 2 game series and 5, 4 games series.
According Fangraphs, a 21.8% chance today.
Cutoff for third wildcard appears to be about 86 wins, to a record of 58 and 46 in remaining games could get it done. 12 games over .500 in the next 104 games isn't again, some monumental task given what this lineup should produce. 10 more measly runs in this first two months could have them 6 more wins and be 4 games over .500 and not 2 under and that would have them more or less right on pace for squeaking in and making the playoffs, as weak as that appears.
