OT: Which Division Leader(s) Will Miss The Postseason?

[Capt. Serious]

Yeah, who didn't see this coming..the Sox leading the voting.

[2SeamHeat]

Right now, I see the playoffs laying out as this:

AL East: Yankees NL East: Nationals
AL Central : Tigers NL Central: Pirates/Reds/Cardinals
AL West: Rangers NL West: Giants
AL WC1: Angels NL WC1: Atlanta
AL WC2: Orioles/Rays NL WC2: Dodgers/Central #2

I think the White Sox have about a 25% chance of making the playoffs, while the Pirates (the team I think has the 2nd least chance of making it) have about a 33% chance right now. Let's come back to this when the trade deadline passes in a couple of weeks... and I'm sure that these guesstimates will change dramatically.

I would've picked them to win the World Series too. Shame.

I think a quick Google search would yield current playoff odds.

Here's the latest from B-Pro:

I think current division leaders have an advantage and they also factor in rest-of-season projections. Of course, given trades and injuries all this could change within a month, or less.

It would... but I'm not going by any other odds than those I personally perceive. If results always went by the bookies' odds... then 2003 would have never happened. Neither the Cubs nor the Marlins would have made the playoffs, nevertheless 7 games in the NLCS... and the fish eventually taking down the Yankees in the WS. The Tigers wouldn't have made the playoffs in 2006. The White Sox wouldn't have made it in 2005.

I wasn't talking about Vegas odds, but actual calculated odds based on current record, talent level, and projected rest-of-season production.

Y'know...I've actually seen just about every member post that at some point in the White Sox threads...and many of them are Sox fans too. Just something amusing I've noticed.

we are a different breed. for the most part we are negative as fuck. we dont go goo goo gah gah over everything the sox do as a whole like some other fan bases. we know our flaws and understand the whole picture, we also arent printing playoff tickets yet when some teams fans would be printing ws tickets. also uman does not count as a sox fan, he jumps back and forth to what is the trend of the day....hence how he sported a theo avy.

The Pirates might also miss the postseason.

[dabynsky]

if I had to pick just 1 team to miss the postseason it would be the pirates.

Yankees and Rangers are frauds. Everybody else is a shoe-in.

LMAO. Someone's sensitive.

It's okay though. Go ahead and call me a "meatball" or a "moron" because I know that you know everything about every subject in the world.

After reading through the shit in this thread, I seriously regret making it. I guess that's my fault for thinking adults could engage in a mature conversation about Major League Baseball.
