It sucks when you're in a pennant race, but you need to keep zooming out instead of focusing on single games. Going 5-1 (an .833 winning percentage) against anyone isn't something that should ever be expected. Particularly when the team playing them has only won 52% of their games. If they miss the playoffs by a game or two, it's way worse to me that they were swept by the Cards and Pirates.
Of course they also have no business being up 7-0 vs the Jays either when those teams have played at virtually the same expected record. They won all 4 1 run games. I'm sure Jays fans can't believe all 4 of those were losses.
