Think about how close this team was/is....
What if Homer Bailey had gotten the starts that were given to someone who was not deserving, say, Chris Machalak, or the 5th starter spot which was sometimes skipped or spot started.
Homer Bailey couldn't have won 4 or 5 games that these guys were unable to? 4 probably would have been enough...that's it...that's all it would have taken.
Hell, even if he got a no decision on 1 or 2 or there and kept the games within reach....
I think he could have.
