And it doesn't end in May, they open June with 10 games against current division leaders, the Brewers and Braves. It gets a little easier later in June, with some games against cellar dwellers Texas and Colorado, but they still face .500 or better teams in Seattle, San Diego and the White Sox, and they finish up with the Brewers. There's no stretch of multiple series against teams well under .500, like they are currently going through. They need to take 4 of the next 6 against the crap teams to set themselves to make a run in that tough stretch.
