Lost 7-0 and no hit at home with their ace on the mound against a last place team.

tomterp, what was the source for this?

I like BP - not sure if you can see this or not, please advise.

As I recall, they play out the remainder of the season 1 million times each night in a Monte Carlo simulation, using PECOTA projections to drive the results, then just compute the # of times each team makes the playoffs in each category - Div, WC, WS etc.

And a 110 heat index.  May be on of those rare times guy gets pulled with a no-no.
Called it!  I said May be but I meant will be.

Today also marks the 150th anniversary of Hood's evacuation of Atlanta in the face of W.T. Sherman's army.  Coincidence??  I think not!!

That lasted for several days I believe. Let's hope their bats stay cold.  No fire in them today

Why are the division odds lower now than at the time of the post I quoted?
