What they do is calculates the precise probability each team has of winning each game, winning their division, making the playoffs, advancing in the playoffs, and winning the World Series.<br /><br />URL: http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylt=AldnEX.B6ApvruyE5imbt9Io0bYF?slug=ys-accuscoreplayoffodds061409&prov=yhoo&type=lgns<br /><br />After 10 weeks, the Giants are at 24.3% probability of getting into the playoffs, which is the 6th best in the NL (of course, only 4 teams make the playoffs). They jumped 7.7% in week 10, the second best jump. They have a 13.1% chance of winning the division, which I assume means that they only have a 11.2% chance of winning the wild card, which I find amazing since they are 7 games behind LA while they are leading the wild card by a game (though that could go with the drubbing they are getting tonight, Zito was blasted).<br /><br />The D-gers, of course, has the best chance with a 79.2% probability of making the playoffs and 72.9% probability of winning the division. D-Rox actually still has an 8.2% chance, the D-backs 4.8%, and the 'Dres 1.0%.<br /><br />How long has it been that the Giants have about a 25% chance of making the playoffs?<br /><br />Go Giants!obsessivegiantscompulsivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362706004246875823noreply@blogger.com
