    If those playoff matchups held through the World Series, man the ratings would be huge.

    The Phils and Cubs both finish 87-75. Why do the Phils get the wild card?

  4. Neil Paine Says:

    They had fractionally more wins per season, on average, in the 10,000-season sim than Philly, even though both clubs rounded to 87 wins.
