The standings tightened up a little this past week, and the 3rd-5th place teams are very close to their predicted win percentages. :popcorn:

Like yt alluded to in his picks, this week is a full week, but next week (#14) will just be the one weekend series leading into the ASB, so only 3 games on the docket for the team you choose.

So far, this would have been the week to pick the two worst teams in each league: Twins 4-1 and Cubs 4-0

[Patience]

Oakland for the short week

[Jahiegel]

Week fourteen: Oakland Beanes

(We take the Sunday before the A-S break off, too, right? I mean, I didn't just commit myself to Bartolo Colón against King Félix, did I? A consequence of heatstroke, sans doute.)

[The Arbitrary]

14 Mets
15 KC
16 Cinci

Not in the greatest of shapes right now so if one of those is a repeat give me Pitt that week. If a second of those is a repeat slap me and give me Oakland as punishment.

I now guarantee that Pitt and Oakland outscore my legitimate picks. And it took me 5 tries to type legitimate. Wooooooooo

Well, change that to Pirates and Padres with the best weeks (6-1 each), after the Cubs and Twins finished up 1-2 after my comment.

Some interesting negative games behind. After missing 2.5 weeks, OddSox needs to be sure he doesn't miss anymore weeks (or days even), and perhaps be sure to pick teams playing 7 (or 8) games in most weeks, to avoid the qualifying losses. Ultimate Anyone? has shown it can be done, so there's still hope (coupled with having one of the best COWPATs at the top, too).

As of today, OddSox has 92 games played. The average per player is 105, with Roy Hobbs in the lead at 111.

48 days left in the regular season and Odd Sox needs 48 more games to hit 150!

I have a simple formula to track a players "pace" in my spreadsheet (had it for years now, but not sure I've ever really shared). It assumes your current COWPAT for the remaining games you have left to play short of the 150 qualifying total.

OddSox's COWPAT of .4862 times his 48 games remaining is 23.34 more wins, so his final season total would be 89.34 and 60.66.

Roy's COWPAT of .4647 times his remaining 28 games is 13.01 wins, so his final season total could be 90.01 and 59.99 losses, just beating out OddSox in Win%.

Seems even more likely since OddSox is going to have trouble getting all 48 games in. I have average games needed per remaining week assuming 7 more weeks left (6.9 for OddSox, 4.0 for Roy, I think), so I could even work that into the formula for additional losses expected to be added just to qualify, assuming about 6.5 games per week (some play 6, some 7, a few will play 5 or 8 occasionally), but not sure I can right this minute.

I also don't like that you can stop after 150 games, but those are the rules...

I have no issue with that - can skip middle season games. but both playing and not playing carry risks - I have expressed many opinions on that

I could always "forget" to make my pick until Monday morning that week which is allowed...

I actually read it backwards, thinking you were taking the end of the week

[MountainHawk]

Personally, I think that for next year, once you miss a day of the week, you should either take losses for each day that you missed or miss the whole week to eliminate the partial week strategy.

[Roy Hobbs]

Personally, I think that for next year, once you miss a day of the week, you should either take losses for each day that you missed or miss the whole week to eliminate the partial week strategy.

It's only an advantage if you are in contention and have met the 150 game mark. There has to be some benefit to not missing any weeks up to this point.

[MountainHawk]

It's only an advantage if you are in contention and have met the 150 game mark. There has to be some benefit to not missing any weeks up to this point.
The advantage is that you can pass a full week in September when the rosters expand and it's less easy to predict what will happen. It's silly to allow people to pick and choose series.

It looks like 5 players (Kid Rock, MountainHawk, SirVLCIV, Ezekial Cumberland, and Bicycle Repair Man) didn't get credit for the Cardinals most recent 3 wins over the Astros (Tues-Thurs)

Maybe he's strategically waiting until Monday. :tfh:

More seriously, he's 42 games from qualifying (missing 2 weeks and 2 days in other weeks already), so if he played the next 5+ weeks, he'd only have 30-40 more games, still taking on a few losses to qualify, and being behind by 6 games it will be difficult to win, so he's dropping out. :shrug:

Yep, you've got it rekrap.. Unlikely to win + hard to qualify

FYI - The rained-out Blue Jays / Orioles game, for the 5 of us who had one or the other, will not count in this week when it is made up later in September as part of a doubleheader.

Patience - Are you going to pick a different team then me one of these weeks or are you happy to finish 4 games back?

Patience - Are you going to pick a different team then me one of these weeks or are you happy to finish 4 games back?


And 4 of you (including you two) started the season the same as well:
That makes 4 players who have started the first 4 weeks with "TEX, MIA, MIL, CIN".

Will be interesting to see which "chickens" to a different pick, or what PWP it comes down to if everyone follows Patience (which I know is what MH is doing :wink:) until the end.

Did you pick all of those first? So torn between Mets & Balt this week, like Mets/Phil slightly better than Balt/ChiSox - even with home/away. Will admit I did not switch off knowing I wouldn't lose ground with differing picks coming up

Anyway, I am basically preselected - I believe next two weeks we differ

Pat and Arb pinning their season on the Twins!

just hope to hold it close to where we are
don't you still have the 'stros for the final week?

[rekrap]

Pat and Arb pinning their season on the Twins!

Minny has 4 vs Cleveland (tanking) and 3 vs KC (mediocre) all at home. They should go 4-3 at least, as nothing is really on the line.

But you are counting on the Sox to fair well in a 4-game series vs Tigers vying for the AL Central, as well as the 3 vs KC.

Pat & Arb gained a little ground last week (WAS 6-1 & LAA 5-1, vs DET 4-2). Just a little more and the pressure is really on for the last 3 weeks (or 2.5 or however you choose to play it out).

[Patience]

Just realized Patience is tied for the second best COWPAT, so this gradual gain in position could continue. :popcorn:

A more relevant stat would be COWPATLTBP

Cowpat of teams likely to be played - which would ignore the four worst records each player has left. Obviously match-ups may dictate they are played - but this is a truer measure of remaining winning potential

You would have been better off skipping this week.

Here's my last 4 weeks, too, so I can quit thinking about it:
23 PHI
24 CLE CHC
25 NYY
26 CHC???

Cleveland scares me this week... probably stupid for even bother to do this but I'll figure out week 26 when we get there.

[Roy Hobbs]

Yes, Patience will need to sweep the weekend to take the lead.

[Patience]

Yes, Patience will need to sweep the weekend to take the lead.

Patience - it isn't the last week

[The Arbitrary]

I believe today's standings look like this...
RHobbs 93-53 .637
Patience 94-54 .635 0 GB
Arby 93-55 .628 1 GB

Hobbs still has no pick, Patience has 3 with San Fran vs. Rockies, I've got 3 with San Diego vs. the D-Bags... I mean backs.

[The Arbitrary]

I believe today's standings look like this...
Patience 94-54 .635
RHobbs 93-54 .633 0.5 GB
Arby 93-55 .628 1 GB

Hobbs has Tampa for 3 more vs. Boston, Patience has 3 with San Fran vs. Rockies, I've got 3 with San Diego vs. the D-Bags... I mean backs.

My mistake... updated for Hobbs mid-week pick from a month ago. The plot thickens. I'm definitely happy for the second wild card this year.

[Patience]

Week 25 - I originally had CO penciled in - but I will go with Baltimore

Interestingly - Arb and I play the same teams - same Home & Away also

My guess is RHobbs will go CO - possibly 2nd half only - we will see
No idea for the following week though - Cubs?

I was cursed by only going a partial week this week and should have known better.

I will take Col for the whole week.

FWIW, Patience has reached the 150 game qualifying minimum, as has The Arbitrary (And others including Jahiegel and myself), and a couple others are over already (Big Pete & Ultimate Anyone?). Most everyone else should reach it in one or two more games (Roy Hobbs and yankeetripper after today, keyser, SirVLCIV and MountainHawk in 2).

I expect most of us will still be playing it out, but for the end of week update tomorrow, I'm adding the qualifying losses to dlwktb and Agadefe just to wrap them up for the season.

[Patience]

I was cursed by only going a partial week this week and should have known better.

what was a better option?

TB lost 2 of 3 to NYY

MN last wk and save ChiSox for this week - but you considered moving to MN a slimey play.

Philly lost 3 of 4 to Houston

SD has been pretty much an equal bet

I contend that if I would have taken TB the whole week they would have had a better week.

But ya, some pretty bad options left to choose from.

[Patience]

I contend that if I would have taken TB the whole week they would have had a better week..

based on that logic - I wished you had - willing to give up a game to see the Yankees lose.

[Jahiegel]

Had actually I a chance at a passable finish, I'd pass this week--each of my two prospective choices projects to 3.4 wins, which on a seven-game schedule is unideal--but prudence is of no use.

Week twenty-five: Colorado Rockies

[Roy Hobbs]

already lost one that way

The last week will be interesting, as my best pick plays what I believe is both Arbs (assuming he doesn't stick with houston) and Hobbs best pick. One can actually pick my first half opponent and the other by second half. Great for me if trailing, but if leading I may have to seriously consider a skip and I hate doing that.

[The Arbitrary]

What's wrong with Houston? Oh, they're team. That week is going to be tricky for me.

Your tardiness pays off for one game, though.

The Arbitrary missing that CIncy opening loss in week 4 is looming a bit larger now.

Impeccable timing...? :shake:

.631 has been good enough to win most years, might get me 3rd for the 2nd straight year.

Week 26 - Royals

decision to sit out taken out of my hands

Arizona for week 26

[rekrap]

Here we go, an epic match-up of the .500 Diamondbacks (& Phillies) vs the 105-loss Astros. :popcorn:

[The Arbitrary]

No wait... let's make it the Indians

Just realized I'm taking a 16-59 road team for 6 road games

[The Arbitrary]

Is that your final answer? :-P
No! Cleveland! Invoking the ghost of Roger Dorn!

D'backs vCHCx3 and vCORx3

Phillies @MIAx3 and @WASx3
Blue Jays vNYYx3 and vMINx3

[The Arbitrary]

really?
Not how awful they were... that they were on the road for all 6. Thought they split. Although of what I have left Cle/Hou were the only viable options. SEA has the Angels for 3, Col the Dodgers for 3. That leaves Cle/Hou/Cubs. Hou and Cubs play each other, so they have 3 against a crappy team. But Cubs vs. AZ seems like a bad idea, Hou @ Mil seems like a slightly better idea. Really I'm banking on Cleveland showing up against KC (who I don't think ever plays hard the last week) and CWS choking away 2 out of 3. And there's my thought process.

Who did I pick again?

[yankeetripper]

Do I get a bonus for having the only COWPAT over .500?

[Jables]

FWIW, Big Pete picked the Royals in post #477 :geek:

two nights in a row I have fallen asleep thinking my AZ final was the opposite of what it was.

I hate that this comes down to a bunch of teams with little to actually play for

Phi / Was are this afternoon and CO / AZ is early for west coast - so should know before bed - (hopefully before dinner)
