Crazy that the Nl central could clinch a bye as early as tomorrow
Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d see charts for the best record in the MLB, especially with only 11 games left. I didn’t think anything could beat divisional charts. What a year for the Crew.
If I understand this correctly, our magic number against the dodgers is our magic number to secure a bye? Well, I guess we also have to beat the cubs, too. So while we’ll *probably* beat the cubs we’ll be playing for what could be a 1/2 seed or a 4 seed, the difference of a bye and home Field advantage in the divisional round and a wildcard series.
Odds are still quite good for the #1 seed despite Philly’s surge, but it would be nice to get a game back one of these days.
Phillies need to net +3 games on the Crew in “10.5” games, even if Brewers play roughly .500 ball I don’t see them passing us.
Edit: And frankly, if Philadelphia goes 8-2 or similar down the stretch they’ll have spent all of September really earning the top seed. Would be disappointing, but at that point you can only shrug and hope for the best come NLDS and beyond.
Is the Blue Jays chart for home field in WS or what’s that in there for?

I didn’t realize [Bichette is out with a knee sprain](https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/46286161/tests-ok-jays-bo-bichette-return-playoffs)
That said the [Jays injury page](https://www.mlb.com/bluejays/news/blue-jays-injuries-and-roster-moves?t=blue-jays-injury-report) and [Brewers injury page](https://www.mlb.com/brewers/news/brewers-injuries-and-roster-moves?t=brewers-injury-report) are very different lmao
