The San Francisco Giants have put themselves in a great position with their strong play of late. Despite having to deal with their fair share of injuries and playing in a very tough NL West this year, the Giants find themselves in second place and just 2.5 games back of the first place Diamondbacks and firmly in charge of their own destiny in the wild card race.

It wasn't that long ago that things were looking pretty dire for the Giants in 2023. They had missed out on all of their big time free agent targets like Aaron Judge and Carlos Correa (sure looks like they made the right choice with the latter($), though) and the Dodgers and Diamondbacks got off to hot starts. All of that meant it felt like the Giants were an incomplete team getting left behind.

However, times have changed and thanks to a stitched together rotation and flat out awesome performances from the offense and bullpen, San Francisco has gone 16-6 in the month of June and are in the thick of the playoff race which means they need to start planning for the second half and trying to cement their spot as a playoff team.
