I started this project back in April, taking 128 teams, including every World Series champion plus at least one representative from every existing Major League team that hasn't won, and built this tournament starting with a double round robin. Within eight groups of 16, teams have played 75 of their 90 games, and there are 15 games left to filter the field down to half of what we started with.
So far, two of the 64 postseason spots have been claimed by the 1927 Yankees and 1944 Cardinals, with more likely to come in this round. If the tournament ended today, anyone with at least 39 wins would be guaranteed a postseason spot, though depending on group, fewer wins may be enough to punch a ticket. To lead a group, anywhere between 46 and 54 wins is required, with the aforementioned '27 Yankees holding that 54-21 record.
You can view the schedule, scores, and standings from the tournament here. All simulations are provided by WhatIfSports.com. Let's play ball!
