Don't want to pop anyone's ballon but
the percentages for making the WC are now:
TB 82%
CLE 81.5%
TEX 33.4 %

So something pretty out of the ordinary
Is going to have to happen.

 

[Hambombs]

They have the better head-to-head record but if we're tied for the final WC spot we will play one game to determine who plays TB.

Are u being serious?

Two-Club Tie for One Wild Card Spot:
One tiebreak game will be played on Monday. Sept. 30 (tentatively) to determine the Wild Card. Home field advantage will be determined by the rules above for a two-team tiebreaker.

I thought I heard it was the better head to head record that plays in the one game playoff

% means nothing. Texas had nearly that much % of winning the division last year with as many games to play. We all know how that happened. Gotta play the games.

We don't know yet. There's the possibility of Wash skipping somebody's start against the Angels.

 

[Hambombs]

I certainly learned my lesson about assuming the rangers would make the playoffs gotta play the games

I hope you're right.

 

[Hambombs]

I hope you're right.

What do you mean? That's exactly what happened last year

 

[RevSader]

I hope you're right.

Those pcts are based on a Pythagorean formula. They don't mean a damn thing. They do not predict anything. They only tell you what a teams winning pct should be based on runs scored/allowed.

Pythagorean formula? That is friggin hilarious.
Basically they take how the teams have played up til
now and based on the remaing schedule they run that
thru a computer as if they played the end of the season
out about 10,000 times and the percentages that they
come up with is the most likely scenario.

They use the a variation of Bill James Pythagorean expectation....That is directly from the CoolStandings website. They are the ones who set the odds. People take them from that site.

Just cause it's the most likely outcome doesn't mean it will happen
