Standings:
Only four teams matter at this point: Adams Division champion Brick, Zotti Division champion Seattle, and the winner of the Wild Card.
Heading into the sim, Maui had a magic number of one, owning a six-game lead over Brooklyn with just six games to play. Brooklyn had to win out, and Maui had to lose out, for a one-game playoff to be a reality. However, while Brooklyn won their first game of the sim, and Maui lost its, Maui clinched the Wild Card on September 19th.
So, the playoff matchups are a repeat of last season: Seattle hosting Maui and Philadelphia hosting Brick.
The first eight draft pick slots are set, too:
- Atlanta (56 wins)
- Highland (62 wins)
- Appalachian (67 wins)
- Houston (71 wins)
- Antelope Valley (72 wins)
- Wilmington (77 wins)
- Mepkin Abbey (80 wins)
- Brooklyn (84 wins)
Only one injury this sim affects a playoff team: Seattle lost Mike Minty for the post season with a strained back.
Next Sim:
Zev's got the controls through the postseason. Games One of the Seattle/Maui and Philadelphia/Brick series will be on Saturday night, February 24th! Good luck to Mack, Matt, and Fred!
Trivia Answer:
Brian was closest to guessing that David Ortiz holds the record for most home runs in a final season, breaking Dave Kingman's record (nice try Tom!) in 2016.
Other than the Monarchs (of course), I think I'm rooting for Fred/Brick this year.
