Re: Four games to sort seven teams into four spots!
[ QUOTE ]
Basbeball Prospectus Odds report 67% chance of a 2 way tie, 17% chance of a 3 way tie, 5% chance of a 4 way tie. No mention of the 5 tie, probably so slim it's negligible. [/ QUOTE ] Well if you assume every team is 50/50 to win each game, the odds of the Mets/Phillies/DBacks/Padres/Rockies tying at 89-73 is (1/16)^4

OK, this would be pretty awesome. I want the Mets, Phillies, DBacks, Padres and Rockies all to finish with an 89-73 record. Either that, or the Mets, Phillies Braves finish with an 87-75 record instead. [/ QUOTE ] Why? Does that help your team, or do you just like confusion?
