Title: 2018 FGM Playoffs Overview
Post by: Flash on August 13, 2018, 04:19:50 AM
As we enter the final week of the regular season, it appears that the playoff seeds have been established. 

American League

#1 :SEA:   121-33  AL West
#2 :TB:  112-42  AL Central
#3 :CHW:     112-42  AL East
#4 :OAK:   112-42  Wildcard #1
#5 :BAL:    104-50  Wildcard #2

#6 :CLE:      96-58 (Still Alive)

National League

#1 :PHI:    134-20  NL East
#2 :COL:   117-37  NL West
#3 :CHC:   103-51  NL Central
#4 :SD:       98-56  Wildcard #1
#5 :SF:        95-59  Wildcard #2

The only playoff berth in question is the AL Wildcard #2, where :CLE: is 8 games back of :BAL:.  There is a chance that they could finish in a regular season tie if :CLE: goes 8-0 and :BAL: goes 0-8 in the final week of the season. 

We would then go to these tie-breakers:

If two or more teams in a division are tied for a playoff spot then the order of tiebreakers is determined by:
1) Head to head record - If :CLE: goes 8-0 and :BAL: goes 0-8 this week, they will finish 3-3 in H2H;
2) Divisional record (Win%) - :BAL: is currently 51-21 and :CLE: is 46-26, so in the 8-0/0-8 scenario, :CLE: would be the WC#5
3) Fantasy points scored

Good stuff Flash. TB is happy to have won our first division crown under new ownership.

Good luck to everyone going forward.

Will this be the year :PHI: finally brings home a championship?  Or will they extend their annual choke job in the playoffs?  We shall see!  :beer:

As we enter the final two days of the regular season, it does not appear as if :CLE: will pull off the magical finish and oust :BAL: from the 2nd Wild Card berth.

There is also a possibility that :SD: and :SF: flip flop their Wild Card positions, but it won’t change the fact they will meet in the Wild Card matchup.
