UMFan83 · September 19, 2008

Looking at the schedules, I think that AL Central is going to come down to the White Sox replaying that game vs. Detroit

My prediction:

Sox:

2/3 @ KC

1/3 @ MIN

1/3 vs. CLE

Min:

1/3 @ TB

2/3 vs. CWS

2/3 vs. KC

That leaves the Sox up 1/2 game. They will play a Detroit team with nothing to lose on Monday after the season, and if they lose will play in Chicago vs. Minnesota for the division crown on Tuesday with the playoffs starting for the winner on Wednesday.

That's interesting. Although KC has been hot lately. I wouldn't be surprised if they were able to win one of those series.

Cubs are right in the middle of everything. If the Brewers can take 2/3 from the Pirates- which they ought to- and the Cubs split with the Mets The Brewers would be 1 game back heading into the final weekend. If the Cubs take 3/4 from the Mets then they should be tied with 3 to play. If the Mets do better than a split vs the Cubs they probably still have to battle to the end for the division title. This is important because Santana is slate to pitch the last day of the season if needed. that would make him unavailable for game 1 of the NLDS.

And probably Game 2 unless they throw him on 3 days rest.

For the record, Hamels would probably go on Sunday as well if necessary.

Quick question: can anyone explain why the BP postseason odds report, which claims to simulate the rest of the season a million times, displays probabilities to the 5th decimal? Seems to me they'd have to go to ten million simulations for that last digit to be significant ... am I missing something?

Sammys Boombox · September 26, 2008

You know what would be awesome? A three-team tie.

If the games matter on Sunday Sabathia, Santana and Hamels will all have to pitch. Then, if there is a tie the Mets and Phillies play on Monday in Philadelphia for the East and the loser plays the Brewers in either Philadelphia or New York for the Wild Card. Brett Myers and Jamie Moyer would be scheduled to pitch if Philadelphia plays 2. Oliver Perez and Pedro Martinez would be scheduled for the Mets. The Brewers would have a choice between Bush or Gallarado or Suppan on 3 days. I think it would be Gallardo.

Bottom line:

The Cubs will either play the Dodgers who won't know where they're going until Tuesday, or they'll play an NL East team that just played 2 games and used their three best pitchers over the 3 previous days.

cbssportsline.com had Houston with 1 game to elimination before today's games. They did win, but Milwaukee won, too. Shouldn't Houston have been eliminated already? Or do the Mets have to win, too?

Milwaukee @ Philadelphia

beowulf28 · September 28, 2008

cbssportsline.com had Houston with 1 game to elimination before today's games. They did win, but Milwaukee won, too. Shouldn't Houston have been eliminated already? Or do the Mets have to win, too?

They were elminated with the Brewers winning.

Thanks. That's what I thought, but that website hadn't updated yet, I guess.

Congrats Brewers.

And if CC's arm is fine next year, I'll be very comfortable declaring him to be one of the most durable pitchers I've ever seen.
