Playoff Odds and Standings: Baseball Reference

1. In case you are wondering why my games ahead/back numbers are different from most outlets: For some reason they use games ahead of the 3rd wildcard team, but that doesn’t make sense to me. I’m going with games ahead of the 4th team because that’s what matters. ↩︎
