5-4 Rays

Looks like we'll have sole possession of WC-1 today.

Ya but I was hoping for a LAA win. Since there's no benefit to being WC-1 over WC-2, I would prefer to maximize the difference between us and the rest of the pack.

Wrong. Homefield advantage.

The advantage is what....6% extra chance of winning for one game? Not huge. Making sure we get there matters most

8% from my calculations. It's not insignificant... plus having the game played locally is way more awesome!

Have you looked at the Jays home and road record? Also, if we win the division we want to have a better record than whoever wins the AL West.

Jays home advantage is bigger than I realized. Oddly, the Angels are apparently at a (very) slight home disadvantage over the past 5 years.

That sample size wouldn't mean anything (too small)... I got the 8% from 10 years of home/away splits (all teams).

I want to go to the game if it happens . Either way my second point still stands, we should be rooting against the Angels and Houston, I'm not particularly worried about the Orioles.

I kind of disagree, the O's could impact us in the WC or the DIV. They never seem to go away - they just keep winning.

 

Any idea how much a home WC game would cost... assuming you can get it from the Ticket Master?

Why is Gibby's head randomly inserted underneath the standings??

I tend to agree with this notion of maximizing distance between the teams in the hunt.

So? That means the Angels have to go 2-1 in those 3 games just to tie us.

Nothin, I'm prob just going crazy.

Can't, Clown'll eat me.

These percentages are such a joke honestly. How can we really have a 77.3% chance to make the playoffs when we are only 3 games up in the wildcard? It just assumes we are going to continue playing exactly how we have been playing in the last 10 games (9-1).

 

Rather just look at games back/future schedule.

 

No, it assumes we continue playing to projections.

The Jays being more rested is a bad thing?

[Trouba95]

4-2 Halos!

[Trouba95]

Texas winning again :/

[Trouba95]

O's tie it at 4 on two homers. Go Halos!

[Jimcanuck]

yankees probably watching the O's game now, haha

[fapaholic]

..and Giowhatever bunt fails....sigh

[Trouba95]

C'mon Halos! I want 3.5 cushion on the O's.

[Followthelight]

Giavotella with one of the worst attempt at bunting I have ever seen
