Thanks Doc.
15-5 = 89 and that still remains the best safe-bet number. Toronto, currently in the #1 WC slot, needs 11-10 to get to 89. It is possible that could allow them to catch Boston for the East crown; the Sox need to go 10-11 to reach 89. If we go 15-5 it likely makes the Blue Jays' effort a bit tougher, as we play them 3 times. Figure we get 2 of those 3 (which we probably need to do to get to 89), then they have to go 10-8 in their remaining games.
Baltimore, now sitting in slot #2, needs 12-9; Detroit and NY, 13-8; Houston, 14-6. But if we go 15-5 there is almost no way that Houston goes 14-6 as we play them 6 times. We would probably have to go 4-2 vs. them. Do that and then they would have to play the rest of their schedule in 12-2.
89 wins is doable. Well, sort of. Less than a 1% chance is still doable, isn't it? I made a hole-in-one once, and such things come with long odds. Of course, I've had several thousand rolls of the Par 3 dice in my lifetime, too. The '16 M's only get one toss. What was it that Ol' Blue Eyes asked? Luck be a Lady?
Indeed!!!!
