The top 15 offensive explosions in the career of Cesar Izturis, who won Thursday's game for the Dodgers with two RBI-doubles. 1) 7/8/01: 3 for 4 with a double and a triple vs. Montreal How about the two best days of Izturis' career coming back-to-back? Of course, he was with Toronto then. Montreal and Colorado were the opponents in nine of Izturis' top 15 offensive games. Thursday marked the first time this season that Izturis had driven in all the Dodgers' runs in a game, which considering their offense, shouldn't be that hard to do. Izturis also did this on September 1, 2002. The Dodgers are 34-13 (.723) in games in which Izturis has an RBI. * * * Update: Dodger chances of making the postseason, from Baseball Prospectus On Baseball Musings, David Pinto shows the strength of schedule for the wild card contenders. It does look like the race could become even more compacted, with leaders Philadelphia and Florida facing the toughest schedule. Baseball Prospectus calculates SOS differently, but the rankings are the same. Still, BP gives Philadelphia is given a 51 percent chance of making the playoffs, compared to 23 percent for Florida. That appears to be because, based on the runs they have scored and allowed this season, the Phillies still have more potential to do better.
