The Giants' playoff odds aren't so bad anymore after walk-off win vs. Dodgers

On Tuesday night, San Francisco pulled off its most dramatic victory of the winning steak, a 10-8, 11-inning thriller against the Los Angeles Dodgers that concluded with a walk-off homer by second baseman Donovan Solano. At the moment, the Giants have the eighth-best record in the NL, meaning they'd qualify for a Wild Card spot.

The Giants' good fortune is far from guaranteed to last, given that their roster still appears to be average-to-below-average, manager Gabe Kapler is prone to making confounding decisions in critical moments, and a bunch of NL teams have a similar record. But hey, the Giants' playoff odds on ESPN, FiveThirtyEight and FanGraphs can no longer be ignored, and far exceed their ESPN preseason odds of 12%, so if you want to bask in some (perhaps temporary) good news, read on:

ESPN NL West playoff odds by team:

1. Los Angeles Dodgers 100%

2. San Diego Padres 93%

3. San Francisco Giants 40.1%

4. Colorado Rockies 35%

5. Arizona Diamondbacks 18.1%

FiveThirtyEight NL West playoff odds by team:

1. Los Angeles Dodgers >99%

2. San Diego Padres 89%

FanGraphs NL West playoff odds by team:

1. Los Angeles Dodgers 100%

2. San Diego Padres 94.2%

3. San Francisco Giants 39.6%

4. Colorado Rockies 34.3%

5. Arizona Diamondbacks 18.5%

If the statistical models for these three sites are to be believed, the Giants actually have a better chance of making the playoffs than the Golden State Warriors did of landing a top-two pick (26.1% chance) in the 2020 NBA Draft — a pick the Warriors ended up securing in the lottery last week.
