[Pitcher in the Rye]

Treating each game as a binomial event:
Remaining games: 7
Record needed for a winning regular season: 7-0 (.781% probability)
Record needed for .500 regular season: 6-1 (5.469%)
Someone with a gambling background can fine tune those odds with RPI, winning %, home field, etc.
Even worse, 65% of the games were played at home, a huge advantage and somehow a still a losing record.
