(Tier 1) A 1-point difference between the top-2 teams is crazy, but a lot of this depends on seeding. It’s early to think about it, but we’ll entertain the exercise anyways: Win’s Up Doc (2) desperately wants a chance to play and beat Sporty Strauss (1) in the 2nd round of the MLB playoffs, even if Strauss is the 2nd best team. It’s possible. If whoever wins the Shepherd Goods Division (3-seed) between Jack, Pullies and Sam can beat the 6-seed, then Sporty Strauss or Win’s up Doc (whoever is the 4-seed) would head to the other division (as long as the other team is the top-seed). Otherwise, Win’s Up Doc will have to hope that Wait ‘Til Next Year, as the likely 2-seed, can beat Sporty Strauss in the 2nd round.

Bottom line: if Sporty Strauss makes the championship game of MLB, he clinches the League of Leagues.

(Tier 2) None of the teams in this Tier have a chance to finish first or second, but they could still place. Wait ‘Til Next Year (3) has an excellent chance to place 3rd with the strength of his MLB team. He should get a BYE modestly easily, and a top-3 finish probably gets him a 4th place at the least, though that isn’t a lock depending on the next couple of teams.

Las Cabras (4) have a weak MLB team with an easy schedule. But it’s all about the consolation bracket for them. If they can just inch their way into an MLB consolation BYE, they have a shot to score with 23 or 24 points and get some money.

The MN Moose Knuckles (5) have a little bit more variance. The schedule in MLB is easier, but they’ve dropped games to bad teams. Most importantly, they are also behind the 8-ball a little bit more bringing 14 points into play before MLB. Their route to placing is getting 3rd or 4th in MLB, which is certainly possible if his pitching staff can round into form. Maybe even higher.

(Tier 3) This Tier is a bridge. These teams have no chance of finishing last, and their odds of placing are growing slimmer by the day. It’s possible for them to get better in these rankings, but it’d take a leap out of their current MLB teams.

The BamO’s (6) are the most promising of the bunch, and he has no draft picks to tank for so he might as well try his hardest to place.

For the Ornery Otters (7), DTC Porkchop Express (8), and The Pullies (9), the odds are growing much stronger in their favor to sell off and try to tank to get the 4th pick in the Strauss Draft and grab one of the big 4 NBA rookies. Some of these teams like Craig and Korey have already started looking into this, but The Pullies and The BamO’s are caught more in no-man’s land with unpredictable MLB squads.

(Tier 4) The teams in this Tier are the teams with no chance to place and a chance to finish last. The SG Choppers (10) have a slim chance of actually finishing last, because he got incredibly lucky with his NFL squad. Even though he’s probably bound to finish last in MLB, he should only start getting uncomfortable if both the Cooper Troopers and $traight Cash Homie look like they are playoff-bound, which is unlikely.

But speaking of playoff bound, $traight Cash Homie (11) has an inside edge for a playoff spot which leaves the Cooper Troopers (12) as the NEW FAVORITE FOR THE LAST-PLACE PENALTY!! It’s going to be a close race between Coop and Jack, which will be entertaining as hell for the other 10 teams and probably Jack who thought he was dead in the water after NBA.

Coop very well might have to spend a day shortly after his wedding hiding in a restaurant or taking a sex doll out to dinner, and it will be glorious.
