It's going to be an interesting 4 days.

Twins have 3 with the suddenly red hot Cincinnati Reds

ChiSox 1 more with Cleveland, then 3 with the Cubs

Yanks 1 more at Toronto, then 3 at home against the Marlins.

Cleveland has 1 more with Chicago, then 3 at home against the Pirates.


Not out of the realm of possibility that the Tribe leapfrogs Chicago into the 4 seed.

They gotta win tonight then it could be looking good. Tribe playing the worst team in baseball, Sox playing Cubs. Should be interesting.

Wish the Indians had more big bats...their pitching as great as it has been all season probably won't be enough in the postseason.

I think their pitching will really suit them well in the first round-a reason why I'd prefer they don't get to the 4 seed, all things considered.

Crazy they traded Clevinger and Bauer and they still have arguably the best rotation going in.

So how's it work if 3 or 4 teams in the NL end up at exactly. 500? Stl, Cincy, Mil, Philly ,Miami and SF could all legit end up .500

 

[nynasty]

This weekend is gonna be bananas. So many different potential match-ups, and we probably won't know where teams are going until Sunday night.

Buckle up!

AL is almost set except stros need 1 win and cle/cws/min fighting for division

NL is dog fight for those last few position

Scenario: Three- or four-way tie for a division championship, second place or Wild Card spot

If all of the tied clubs are in the same division and have, therefore, played against each other, then the team with the highest winning percentage in games among those three clubs is the top seed, followed by the team with the second-highest winning percentage in those games and then the third-highest.

So if, for example, the Marlins, Phillies and Mets were all tied for second place in the NL East, and the Marlins’ 11-9 record against the Phillies and Mets was the best of the bunch, the Marlins would lay claim to that spot, and the only way the Phillies and/or Mets could advance is if they are in Wild Card position.

Should two of the above records be identical, the two-team tiebreaker scenario applies. Should all three be identical, then the club with the highest winning percentage in all intradivision games is the top seed.

If the teams involved in the tie are not all from the same division and therefore have NOT all played each other during the regular season, then the club with the highest winning percentage in intradivision games receives the highest seed, followed by the team with the second-highest intradivision winning percentage, etc. So if it were Phillies, Cardinals and Giants all knotted up for the last Wild Card spot, whoever fared best in their division would get the spot.

If two of the involved teams have identical intradivision records, the two-team tiebreaker rules apply. If three of the involved teams have identical intradvision records, then the club with the highest winning percentage in the last half of intradivision games is the higher seed.

Well first things first. Cards would have to play a double header on Monday in Detroit lol.

Could be a clown show.

 

[molsaniceman]

yanks 1 game lead over jays for 2nd
twins 1 game over cle/chw for division
cards/giants/phils/mlk/mets all fighting for last 2 spots in NL

yanks 2 vs miami
jays 2 vs bal
twins 2 vs cin
cle 2 vs pit
chw 2 vs chc
cards 2 vs mlk and 2 vs det if needed
sf 2 vs sd
mlk 2 vs stl
mets 3 vs was need a miracle

FINAL DAY! Clinches, tiebreakers in play

 

[rmilia1]

Funny to see 4 of the 5 NL Central teams get in considering the Cubs were the only team above. 500 like half the season

Tough draw for the Braves getting Cincy with Bauer; Gray and Castillo in a 3 game series and the Dodgers didn't luck out getting Mil with that bullpen

i’ll never understand why it takes them so long to figure out game times

I pretty much hate the all remaining teams... go A's... Padres...?

 

[nynasty]

Mike Fiers pitching against Houston is going to be delicious.

 

[pachyderm]

Baseball is better when the Yankees and bodgers suck.
