2 division ties

Nope. It never happened before.


nor have there been three 100-win teams in the same league.


...and came within two Tiger losses of having four 100-loss teams in that same league.


Never before have the HAVES and the HAVE NOTS been so obvious.

I assumed the three 100 win teams was a first, thanks for confirming.

Off the top of my head: Whomever these four teams played yesterday are different than who they play today. The wild card teams will play a different team tomorrow. And the wild card winner will start a seven game series against yet a different team. So if I got that right, somebody will play four consecutive games against four different teams...I think.

What about Baltimore finishing 61 games out of first place? That should at least be close to a record.

Close in the modern era. The 1935 Braves finished 61 1/2 games out. The record is the 1899 Cleveland Spiders who finished 20-134 84 games behind Brooklyn.

Thanks. That is close.

what happens to draft position if one team played one more game than the other team ..like the marlins played only 161 this year.... so if the marlins had the same amount of wins as another team but one less loss...what happens

i would imagine its possible some teams get 163 games and well while teams in the other league may have the same amount of wins but one less loss etc
