DL
ALE
1. Maine 90-59
2. Pittsburgh 90-59
3. Pawtucket 85-64
Maine holds the tie breaker over Pittsburgh with a head-to-head record of 11-7. Maine has the easiest remaining schedule in the entire DL (44.5%), with nine of the 13 games at home. Pittsburgh has the much tougher schedule (51.3%), with nine of their 13 games on the road. Pawtucket has an easy first week (vs. NO, vs. HAR) and then a hellish final week (3 @ MAI, 4 @ PIT). Pawtucket holds the tie breaker over Pittsburgh (10-7). With a strong showing this week, Pawtucket could really make the final week interesting in the Ale.
LAGER
1. X-Los Angeles 85-64
Los Angeles is the only team in the BLB to clinch the division. They do however have "something to play for." Right now the team sits as the #2 seed with home field in the first round. With the 2nd easiest schedule remaining in the DL (45.9%) and majority of their games at home, they seem like a near lock to land the #2 seed. However, only five games back of Maine/Pitt for the #1 overall seed, and the Ale playing each other the final two weeks, the Dinos could actually make a surprise run at home field throughout the DL playoffs.
PILSNER
1. Indianapolis - 84-65
2. Dallas - 80-69
3. Syracuse - 76-73
Indy holds a four game lead over Dallas, holds the tie breaker (11-8) and the teams have just two games left to play one another. Unfortunately, Indy has the toughest remaining schedule in the entire BLB (55.3%) with half their games on the road. Dallas has a much easier schedule (47.7%) and three of the four remaining series at home, including the two games against Indy. Syracuse has been red-hot since calling up CF Roman Chutz going 16-9 since early August. They will have to be even hotter to win the Pilsner. They have a tough remaining schedule (52.8%) but with four games against Dallas and Indy, they do have a bit of control of their own fate.
WILDCARD
1. Pittsburgh 90-59
2. Pawtucket 85-64
3. Dallas - 80-69
The Ale can rest easy knowing that the teams finishing 2nd and 3rd are near locks to win the Wild Card. Dallas has a .03% chance of snatching the #2 Wild Card spot. Remember, the new Wild Card rules places the #1 WC at home against the #2 WC in a single game elimination, so the seeding matters.
IL
STOUT
1. Washington 86-63
2. Death Valley 85-64
Washington has an average (50%) remaining schedule, with more games on the road than at home. They hold a slight edge in the tie-breaker over Death Valley (9-8), with three games remaining. Death Valley has a similar schedule (49.6%) with more road games than home as well. The three game series between these two will be played in Washington.
BOCK
1. Carolina 95-54
2. Davenport 86-63
Carolina has an average remaining schedule (49.7%) with three of the four series at home. They are a near lock for the Bock and the #1 seed in the entire BLB. However, they have not yet clinched but it seems very likely. Davenport has an easier schedule (48.4%) with more home games than road. It would take a lot of lucky dice rolls for them to win the Bock, or to even be close for the final week. The Brawlers are however a 99.2% chance of landing one of the two Wild Card spots. You can bet they have their eye on the #1 seed.
PORTER
1. Baltimore 86-63
2. Batavia 80-69
Baltimore has the easiest remaining schedule in the BLB (43.5%) with two series at home and two on the road. Batavia is six games back in the Porter, five games back in the Wild Card with a below average schedule remaining (47.2%). They also have two series at home and two on the road.
WILDCARD
1. Davenport 86-63
2. Death Valley 85-64
3. Batavia 80-69
Batavia has a 1.6% chance of landing the Wild Card. This probably boils down to Stout #2 vs. Davenport.
Thoughts? Predictions? Who are you rooting for?
I smell Lonnie Coleman....and damn I'm glad we added the #2 Wild Card spot.
