Less Than 10% Chance To Make Playoffs

By Tim Dierkes [May 28 at 12:27pm CST]

Which teams are most likely to become sellers in the next few months leading up to the July 31st trade deadline? To help determine that, let's take a look at Baseball Prospectus' Playoff Odds report. The report gives the following eleven teams less than a 10% chance of making the playoffs:

 

Pirates - 9.46%

Giants - 8.78%

Mariners - 6.14%

Rockies: 4.84%

Athletics: 4.36%

White Sox: 4.33%

Marlins: 3.20%

Orioles: 2.77%

Diamondbacks: 2.58%

Astros: 2.25%

Nationals: 0.52%

The report likes the 20-28 Indians more than the 21-25 White Sox, because Cleveland has a better run differential. The report gives the Tribe a 14.4% playoff chance. The Padres have pushed themselves up to 11.94%.

 

As far as pure offensive production this year, your trade candidate leaders from these eleven are Adam Dunn, Russell Branyan, Brad Hawpe, and Nick Johnson. This year's top pitchers from these non-contenders include Mark Buehrle, Matt Cain, Wandy Rodriguez, Erik Bedard, Jarrod Washburn, and Doug Davis. I'm not sure whether Buehrle, Cain, and Rodriguez will actually hit the market.

 

Interesting that they they have the Pirates better than the Astros.

 

Maybe Hendry can try pilaging one or two of these teams.

Wandy has gone a little unnoticed so far. He's been insanely good.

Out of that group of hitters, I'd like Branyan.

[chasinf5s]

Except Branyan is a good bit better.

 

But yeah, they're similar styles.

Those 3 others could be Marmol, Soto and Marshall and they may start thinking about it.

[Prior4CyYoung]

I'd like me some Erik Bedard.

[JonJayCutler]

Dunn please. Find somewhere to send Bradley. Hawpe would be good too but I'm hesitant to trust his numbers due to the park he plays in.

[MarthaT]

I'd like me some Erik Bedard.
