With 27 games to go, no one has been eliminated and no one has clinched yet, but over the next few rounds we'll start to see that. We have seen three no-hitters in the tournament (two by 1965 Sandy Koufax, which is pretty cool), and I think with that we've almost matched the total from the 2017 tournament.
As for the standings, anywhere from 38 to 46 wins is enough to lead a group at this point, while a 33-30 record is enough to guarantee making the postseason. Some groups are a little chaotic, where there's fix or six teams above .500, and then a bit of a cliff, while elsewhere teams at 32-31 would miss the postseason if it started today. To help ensure some balance, I'm going to keep the first three rounds of the postseason within groups, and hopefully the cream will rise to the top.
