Playoff races for the season finale

In the AA Division
The 1st two playoff teams have been set for a while but the #1 seed is still not clinched. The Piratas need to win to clinch the division and the 1st round bye. If Pacific Tires can win and somehow the Piratas lose, Pacific Tires would take the #1 seed. The #3 seed is still not set. The funny thing is it comes down to the last game of the year. If the Motorboaters can defeat the Pirates, they are in. If the Motorboaters lose and the Naturals can somehow defeat Pacific Tires, the Naturals can steal the #3 seed. If the Naturals lose, they are out.


In the A Division
A West
Mirimire clinched the division title and their playoff spot for a while. They are tied with the Perros for the #1 seed. If both teams win or lose on the last game, its going to come down to the best Run differential for the #1 seed and the 1st round bye.

A East
The Perros have also clinched their playoff spot. The Perros need to win to have a chance at the #1 seed and 1st round bye.


A Wild Card
The Wild card spot comes down to either the Colt 45's or Teocal. The good news is they will face each other in the season finale. The game will count as two as these two teams tied in their first matchup. Whichever team that can come out on top, will take the Wild card spot and advance into the playoffs as the #3 seed.


The B East Division
The Peloteros have come out of nowhere to now lead the division. If the Peloteros can defeat the Expos, they win the division and a 1st round bye. If they lose, they will have to count on tie breaker rules to determine if they still can make the playoffs. If the Bean Boys can defeat the Tomahawks, they are in the playoffs. Same as the Peloteros if the Bean Boys somehow lose we go to the tiebreakers and we will see. The Tomahawks and Bandits both need to win to have a chance. If either losses, and the other wins that team is out. I have the Cerveseros and Expos are out of reach of the playoffs. There are possiblities to make they are longshots at best. To be honest, there are so many possibilities that I am not 100% sure of any of the playoff scenerios.


The B West Division
The RC Dodgers got a swift kick in the nuts with their loss to the Rieleros. Now the have to hope for help to make the playoffs. The Magueyes also got a kick too by losing their game vs the prevousily winless Chapulines. Congrats to the Chapulinos on their 1st victory of the season. Better late than never I guess. The Magueyes must win to make sure they can stay ahead of the RC Dodgers. If the Magueyes lose, it gives the RC Dodgers have a chance because the RC Dodgers hold the tie breaker over the Magueyes. The Angels are sitting pretty on top of the division. They only need to take down Deportivo to clinch the division title and a bye. If the Magueyes and Rancheros can win Sunday, they would clinch playoff spots. If either team loses, this would give the RC Dodgers hope.

In a huge playoff implication game, the Rangers and Teocal faced each other at Ralph Welch. The Rangers looked a little flat but Teocal came out swinging. They defeated the Rangers 12-3 setting up their last game vs the Colt 45's. This game will count for two and will decide the wild card winner.

Sabermetrics predicts wins

The modern baseball game is now run by Sabermetrics. The days of managing using your gut are long gone. So what is Sabermetrics exactly? Sabermetrics is the statistical analysis of baseball. It was developed in the late 1970s by Bill James, a baseball fan who wanted to better understand player performance. Sabermetrics can also be referred to broadly as “analytics” or “advanced statistics. This new way of looking at baseball has changed the game forever. In addition Sabermetrics are used to make an educated guesses to predict future performances of players and teams.
  Earlier this season I used a formula (Team W-L% = (RS2)/(RS2 + RA2)) to determine what Sabermetrics thought how many wins each team would end up with. So how did Sabermetrics do? Well technically we still have one more game to go but lets give Sabermetrics and plus or minus of one game. The results were 50/50. I see about 14 teams with the predications are within 1 game and about 14 teams that are more than 1 game off.
  The biggest differences are with teams like the Naturals that were suppose to win 9 games but ended up with only 4 wins. That means the formula was off by 5 games. This was the biggest margin of error. Other teams like the Perros were predicted to win only 3 games but ended up winning at least 8 games. RC Dodgers were set to win 11 games but only won 6 games. Cerveseros were suppose to win 10 games but only won 5. These were the biggest wrong predications. To be honest, Sabermetrics does not take into account teams that lose players to injuries or just stop showing up.
 So does Sabermetrics actually have any truth to it? I feel like Sabermetrics are like those "sure fire" systems to win big at Vegas. We only ever hear about the ones that are right but rarely hear of most of the ones that never worked.
