For Arizona, it’s simple because they control their own destiny from this point. They need to prove themselves with 20 games at home, and 16 of those against current playoff and wild card teams! Dback’s have more away games with 22 however, only 11 of those games are at playoff potential teams. Including 7 vs the Rockies and 7 vs the Dodgers!

They control their playoff destiny from here on since the pressure is on them. Significantly more than half of their remaining games are against teams fighting for playoff spots. All but two short series at home are against teams unlikely to play until October. Diamondbacks finish the season with the toughest remaining schedule.
