Ben and Meg have made their picks in the Contract Over/Under Draft!
Biggest burning question: Is Ben going to get burned by a Kyle Tucker mega-deferral contract? (And if not, would it really be a Contract Over/Under Draft?)

Slight update: We're pretty sure the <94% sac fly success rate is FALSE. However, we're seeing noise in the data on Baseball Savant, and are awaiting confirmation from far more qualified sources who are generously helping to analyze the data.

TB's loss to the Orioles is their 82nd, eliminating them from contention for a .500 season. Out of the 6 teams remaining, 5 must reach 81 wins.

TB's loss to the Orioles is their 82nd, eliminating them from contention for a .500 season. Out of the 6 teams remaining, 5 must reach 81 wins.
At the close of today's action, 5 of the 8 teams in play for .500 seasons lost, and yet nobody has been eliminated.
Assuming the top 4 teams reach 81 wins, at least 2 of STL, SF, MIA, and TB must now win *ALL* of their remaining games for this prediction to stand.

The good news: Out of these 8 teams, only 1 of their 37 remaining games is against each other (today's STL/SF matchup), meaning the prediction won't easily be spoiled by teams blocking each other from the mark. /2

Bears score 21 points in a losing effort against the Lions, keeping them winless for the season- but they can take solace in the fact that they are well outpacing the Cubs in @benclemens.bsky.social's prediction, 90-49 (Cubs game in progress)
