Crawford has sucked but not as bad as Young. We will change your pick to 95 so you will be just slightly less eliminated. LOL

Why? The quote above clearly shows he said 96...no?

It was a joke it's totally moot cuz he's eliminated regardless

I must have changed it to 96. Damn. Those stupid blown games throughout the year and those weak ass road trips of late!! ugh

[Vogelbomb]

And 95 is possible still if a game 163 is needed

There are no game 163's anymore - they have developed a way of separating teams with every eventuality covered

With the 2022 expansion of the postseason field from 10 teams to 12 teams, tiebreaker games will no longer be used to resolve ties in the standings at the conclusion of the regular season. That means no more “Game 163.”

Instead, ties will be broken by math, with specific outcomes from the regular season determining final standing or seeding (ED - or seating ). This change was made so that the postseason can begin promptly after the conclusion of the regular season and that division winners with a bye during the Wild Card Series round will not be forced to sit idle longer than is fair or necessary.

LOL You might want to get up to speed.

No, MLB does not still use a one-game tiebreaker for playoff positioning; these games were eliminated beginning with the 2022 season in favor of a system that resolves ties mathematically. Ties are now broken by a sequence of statistical tiebreakers, starting with the head-to-head record between the tied teams.
