I've tried to keep these roundup posts relatively simple just based on the sheer amount of data that I'm trying to mine through. Writing up recaps of over 1000 games would be insane, so I'm keeping it to finals and pitchers of record. It's a shame, because we've seen a good number of games, including a fair share of walkoffs and extra inning affairs.
Through all of these, the 2016 Chicago Cubs have retaken their place as the best team in the tournament with a 14-5 record. No other team has fewer than seven losses, though the 1986 Mets and 1970 Orioles have matching 15-8 records. These records will matter, as at the end of the 92 game gauntlet we're setting up the playoffs as Major League Baseball does it, with each division winner getting a bye beyond the Wild Card Round. But we've got a lot of baseball left before we reach that point.
This time around we have six divisional matchups. Two of them required me to mess with the schedule, and it thus means we're going to have a pair of wraparound weekend series. All simulations are provided by WhatIfSports.com. Let's get to the action!
