MLB Daily Notes - September 25th
A daily automated report of what happened yesterday in Major League Baseball, along with other recent trends and further analysis.
Here’s a list of the teams that are playing very important games this week (this is a copy and paste from the Starts & Sits article):
National League
Dodgers & Padres: Both have clinched the playoffs, but the Dodgers division lead is down to two games, and they are playing each other right now.
Mets, Diamondbacks, Braves: Just one game separates them, and there are two Wild Card spots open for them.
The Phillies have won their division, but they are tied with the Dodgers for that #1 seed. I’m not sure how motivating that is, but it would give you home field advantage in the NLCS. The Brewers could, in theory, still move up to the #1 or #2 seed, but they’re 2.5 games behind LA and Philly, so most likely they’re in the #3 seed.
American League
Yankees: They have a tiny bit more work to do to clinch the division, but effectively, they have won it. They are tussling with the Guardians for the #1 seed, so there’s still some motivation there.
Guardians: They’ve clinched the division, but they could take that top seed.
Tigers & Royals: They’re currently holding the final two Wild Card spots, and they are two games up on the Twins and 2.5 up on the Mariners. Both teams should be considered highly motivated.
Twins: They are two games back of two different teams. If they can pass up just one of them, they’re in the playoffs. High motivation.
Mariners: Same as the Twins, but they’re an extra half game back.
Red Sox: They’re 3.5 back, which is a huge gap with just four or five games left, but they’re not eliminated.
The Orioles are locked into the top Wild Card spot and the Astros are locked into the #3 seed as the division winner, so there’s not much reason for either team to push it.
My finals update is that my pitching dominated. It was beautiful.
Clint (my opponent) got another nice result from that Koch guy against the White Sox, but he also streamed in Brandon Pfaadt was had one of his bad starts.
Ohtani neither homered nor stole a base for me last night, completely unacceptable.
I have to get to some work meetings. Your streamer pitchers today:
Cody Bradford vs. OAK
Zack Littell vs. DET
Jose Suarez vs. CWS
Simeon Woods Richardson vs. MIA
Brady Basso vs. TEX
