We've had a lot of crazy games and crazy series already that I wish I could have gone more in depth on, but with 1380 games to simulate, that would just be too much. That's why I've at least made sure to link all of the box scores in here, and I encourage you to look into some of these, because there have been some good games.
The 2016 Cubs are still by far the best team in the tournament with only six losses, while every other team has at least nine. Crazy things do happen though; the Cubs did lose a couple straight series a week or two ago before going on break then going on a tear. We also just saw the '86 Mets, who had been really good, drop three of four games. And with another two and a half months left, a lot can change.
This round, we have five divisional matchups that can really change the outlook of things. All simulations are provided by WhatIfSports.com. Let's play ball!
