"MAXIMUM POSSIBLE TIE (THAI ?) -LAND"

2026 :Links not updated yet

For More Details,

We Began Friday With a Possible Tie Among Nine (9) ALTeams !!!

Click on the Links Below

That's right, 9 Teams could have tied if we included the two tight Division Races still going on.

NL DIVISION STDGS

NL WILD CARD STDGS

But Hold On, You Say - You Can't Be Serious ! (to quote J. McEnroe)

Yes, We Are - And We're Crunching the Numbers to Prove It.

AL DIVISION STDGS

Here's How It Looks at Start of Sunday:

AL WILD CARD STDGS

1. The 9 Teams are No Longer Possible (CLE 80 W Out of Reach of 72 W Teams)

2. But 7 Teams Still Possible at 78 OR 80 Wins - AND 8 TEAMS Could Tie at 79 W !

Here are the Three LIVE Scenarios AND Sunday Results Needed to Keep Them ALIVE

80 WINS - 7 Teams from CLE (80 W) down to DET (73 W)

SUN Result Needed - CLE L & DET W

79 WINS - 8 Teams from CWS (79 W) down to MIN & SEA (72 W)

SUN Result Needed - CWS L AND DET & MIN W

78 WINS - 7 Teams from TEX (78 W) down to MIN & SEA (72 W)

SUN Result Needed - Either TEX L, OR MIN & SEA W (latter bumps Target to 79 W)

Don't Fret, NL Fans - You Have a Similar Situation Involving SIX (Now 4) TEAMS ! And that case

has ALL 3 WILD CARD SLOTS in PLAY !!! We will Post on That in our Next Update

End SUN 11:45 am PDT Post

WE ARE BACK and OFF TO THE (2026 PENNANT) RACES !!!

(NEW content for 2026 only began on SUN. 9-06 with GIANTS "EARLY" ELIM,

so NONE of the links in the right-hand column have been updated for 2026.

My apologies, but I hope to correct that soon).

Question from 2017:

Why did NL Office take 2 tries to Decide LA had Clinched Playoffs 9-12-2017?

(according to Bill Shaikin of the L A Times)? We may never know.
