Massive Tie Scenario

With the Cubs winning two games from the Cardinals over the last two days, the six-way tie stands at too much of a long shot to keep considering. The following table shows what's needed for a five way with the highest number of wins.

TeamRecord
Brewers11-4
Mets12-5
Phillies14-1
Astros14-1
Cardinals16-0

Again, with only Philadelphia and Milwaukee playing head to head, there's plenty of room for variation here. The closer to .500 the Mets and Brewers play, the more the odds of a massive tie improve.

For today, here's what I'd like to see happen:

  • St. Louis defeats Pittsburgh
  • Philadelphia defeats Milwaukee
  • Atlanta defeats the Mets

The Cubs and Astros are Iked out, so I'd just like to see the people of the Houston area stay safe.

I'm starting to think the real tie will occur between the White Sox and Twins. Those teams just can't bear to be apart from one another...in the standings, that is. The Sox blew another chance to put some distance between the teams last night.

Man, the Brewers could have made this a done deal by now. Panic is sinking in around Wisconsin. I know they're still the faves for the WC with a three-game lead, but does anyone still FEEL like the Brewers can get this done?
