Not the outcome I necessarily predicted -- or the journey to it, tbh; this Schlittler kid is good, but knowing you have to put your and team/its "bullpen" "management" on your back is one thing; doing it at the Stadium in October is another.
And it's the least disruptive to the pool, thanks to the other outcome I didn't predict: a couple of Sox hitters straight-up vanishing, including one of my picks, Ceddanne "Buster" Rafaela.
The points from the last wild-card tilt:
Bregman 0
Duran 0
Rafaela 0
Story 1
Bellinger 2
Chisholm Jr. 2
Judge 0
Rice 0
Stanton 2
Jazz and Giancarlo dodging the LVP themselves; nice series for Story. Goldie could have a shot at the Victorino if the Yanks keep going.
Not sure they will -- but that's a problem for the weekend! For now, your full standings before the LDSes get underway and the four bye teams change the landscape:
32 Bauer Snoozical
20 DGB and the AKs
18 Mectomy
Everyone else after the jump.
17 Bingham Emo and Cameron 1st
16 Brady
15 Drake 1 and Izzo 2
14 O'Reilly
13 Cameron 2nd
12 Dunn 2 and Izzo 1
11 Mopsiukas 1 and Green
10 Shotwell 1
9 MArbour 1, Shotwell 2, and the Wonsetlers
7 Bingham Prime
6 Fell 2
4 Reid Omega, SDB Prayers, Mopsiukas 2, Yuhan, and the Estros
3 Drake 2
Still about a quarter of the slates waiting for their picks to play -- and we get a day off, but then it's right back into a four-game day on Saturday, starting with CHC/MIL at 2 ET, NYY/TOR at 4, LAD/PHI at 6:40, and DET/SEA in the nightcap.
This round also takes us into a different network constellation, which will be okay if you get the TBS booth and a real trial if you don't, John Smoltz...so maybe you want to spend the day setting up the MLB app so you can sync up the muted TV with the radio call.
Or checking my math! Never a bad idea. Questions? Comments? Predictions? See you in the comments...
