Of course, that is what they are playing for the season, but 10 out of 16 is pretty tough, even against lesser opponents.

After this series we'll play 12 of 16 against the Jays and Orioles (with an LAA makeup and a Tampa series thrown in). If we can just go 10-6 over that stretch we'll be just fine.
