What Has To Happen
The Dragons are 2.5 games back of the Mohawk Valley DiamondDawgs (15-16), who hold the fourth and final playoff spot in the East. There are 9 games left.
Games back is the only number that matters here, and it moves two ways at once. Every Dragons win pulls it down a half-game. Every Mohawk Valley DiamondDawgs loss pulls it down another half. Win on a night they lose and the gap closes by a full game — so the Dragons need a 3-game swing over the final 9.
Win out and they finish 22–19 (.537). That's the ceiling. The floor is what the Mohawk Valley DiamondDawgs do with their own schedule — which is why the head-to-head matters so much.
The game that counts double
Fri, Jul 24 · @ Mohawk Valley DiamondDawgs
Beat the team you're chasing and you don't just get a win — you hand them a loss. That's a full game off the gap in a single night, the fastest way to climb the board. This is the one.
