They took one last look at the rest of the league Sunday and pulled ahead in the race for a playoff spot.

We're a lot closer to a playoff spot today than we were yesterday.

It also left them 3 points out of the last playoff spot in the division.

The last couple years there were about eight teams going for that final playoff spot.

Beginning with July 30, they are 2-14 against teams within two games of a playoff spot.

In both cases, this usually left the other two teams to fight it out for the last playoff spot.

Obviously you want to win ball games, but there's not a playoff spot on the line right now.

They are one and a half games out of the last playoff spot in the West.

Despite the win the team missed out on a playoff spot by one point.

They're third in the Northwest and outside a playoff spot, baby!
