FGM12 Playoff Discussion

[Colby]

Houston beat Philadelphia in the NLWC
Boston upset Texas in the ALWC

Oakland vs. Boston
New York vs. Cleveland

Los Angeles vs. Houston
St. Louis vs. Washington

The stories... Rangers and Phillies falling late season.  While they easily make wildcard, they lose to opponents to fail to advance.  A's, Yankees, and Dodgers highlight dominant teams of FGM history.  Cleveland finally gets to show what it is made of in the AL.  Boston is back in the playoffs.  Houston and St. Louis, both FGM NL Central strongholds are back in the playoffs are making it once in the past three years.  Washington makes the playoffs for the first time ever (for this iteration of the Nationals).

I really think I have a bit more 'star power' than Paul's Cardinals do, but his team is the mark of consistency.  Should be a great matchup, and it doesn't hurt I have three hurlers going tonight.

[Paul S.]

It should be a great series Jake.  Maybe the Cardinals  got their bad week out of the way before the playoffs this year.

The Rangers are obviously disappointed for being eliminated from contention this year, but hopefully our salary cap will increase substantially in 2014 after a 120-40 season.

My predictions for the first round:

Oakland over Boston
Cleveland over New York Yankees
Los Angeles Dodgers over Houston
St. Louis over Washington

Betting against myself, that way I can be surprised if I advance.

Good luck guys!

That reminds me that I have to do the W-L adjustments for you to make them more realistic.  I am pretty sure that will translate to a 100 win season.

Is an adjustment needed considering most teams' W-L reflects a 160-game schedule?

Well 1-1 will be added but the WPCT will be brought closer to the 400-600 corridor.
