Giants' late surge has them back from the brink: 10 wins in 11 games and a four-game gap to the Mets for the NL's third wild-card spot. Baseball-Reference pegs their postseason odds at 11.7% after a start as low as 1.4% two weeks earlier, a startling climb powered by a hot middle of the order and a spark from Drew Gilbert.

Matt Chapman, Willy Adames and Rafael Devers all fed the offense (.286/.333/.347 with multi-homer bursts over the last 15 days), while Gilbert supplied a much-needed jolt. The Cubs look locked for the top wild-card; San Diego and New York could falter, but SF will stay in it with continued pace and September meaningfully looming.
