Where did anyone say it was a slam dunk?

I don't think I've seen a single person on this board ever say that or insinuate it.

Everytime I see Laynce Nix, it makes me think of Steve Garvey. Same forearms. Mercy! Freakin' Popeye.

That's the percentage chance of making the PLAYOFFS, including the wild card.

Not winning the division, as I recall.

That's playoff odds. The division odds are about 90-92 percent.
