NL Statis-Pro Season Wrap, Dodgers and Guardians Advance in Statis-Pro and Real MLB

The Statis-Pro National League regular season came to an exciting conclusion. Playing the injury-free "what if" format the Dodgers dominated the 48-game Statis-pro season at 33-15, and they join the Cleveland Guardians as the two teams alive in both the real MLB playoffs and Statis-pro.

However Arizona was eliminated the last day of the actual season but in Statis-pro defeated Cincinnati on the final day to take the last wildcard spot.

Atlanta, the second most injured team behind the Dodgers according to Fangraphs, got past Milwaukee in the last game to take the NL “East”.

The regular season MVP goes to Shohei Ohtani, and the legend kept growing as he just went 3 for 4 with a homer to even their playoff series with Arizona (see below).

He hit for a .311 avg (7^th), 15 HR (3^rd), 50 RBI (1^st), 1.057 OPS (1^st), .658 Slugging (2^nd), 17 2B’s (2^nd),19 2-out RBI (3^rd), 125 total bases (2^nd). See all the leaders' lists in the previous blog.

The Cy Young award goes to Zack Wheeler, who will next face the runner up for the Cy Young Strider in the other NL Statis-pro series.

In 12 starts, he posted a 10-0, 2.44 ERA, he led the league with 81 innings pitched. 0.87 WHIP (1^st), Strikeout/Walk ratio 100/11 (2^nd), Batting Avg Against .199 (4^th)

The playoffs have started!

 

Wildcard (best of 5)

Arizona sweeps out the Brewers in three straight.

The Diamondbacks led the league in 2-out RBI’s and that continued in this series.

They scored 14-runs in three games and eight of them came with two outs.

Arizona pitching shut down Milwaukee allowing just four runs in three games.

 

Phillies advance past pivotal game five

The two hottest teams down the stretch the Phillies and Padres went the distance in the best of five.

Zack Wheeler followed up his great regular season with two amazing starts going eight innings in each and only allowing three runs total. (16 IP/3 ER)

He wins game one and game five while Nick Castellanos drove in seven runs during the five games.

 

NLDS (Best of 7) - Arizona vs. Los Angeles

Arizona’s pitching continued to cause trouble in game one, shutting down the vaunted Dodger offense for a 6-1 win.

Jordan Montgomery pitched six strong innings to lead the way.

In game two, the Diamondbacks built a 3-0 lead, but the Dodger offense finally got going and erupted for a six-run fifth inning and rolled to an 8-4 win.

Shohei Ohtani went 3-4 with a HR.  The series is tied 1-1 and shifts to Arizona.

 Philadelphia vs. Atlanta

The Braves showed no signs of rust as they crushed the Phillies 11-3 in the series opener. Austin Riley went 2-5 with a HR and 4 RBI’s. Max Fried was solid in pitching six innings to get the win. Game two will feature the pitching matchup of the year as Zack Wheeler will face Spencer Strider, the top two in the Cy Young Race. Wheeler 10-0, 2.44 vs. Strider 9-2, 2.54.

 

Since we played our season without injury - using the Statis-Pro cards of players even if they were on DL etc., you would expect teams in Statis-Pro to play closer to how many games they would have won if they had only an average number of injuries.

This FanGraphs piece calculated the number of wins a team likely lost due to injury (based on the WAR of players in games they missed. 

We then used that figure to adjust each teams record. Keep in mind the average team loses about 6 games a year due to injuries, so if a team only lost 3 games due to injuries they actually were fairly lucky and we would adjust their wins DOWN by 3 to say if they had average injuries they would have lost three more games - whereas if they lost 9 games to injuries then we would have said they were hard hit by injuries and would have won three more games.

The LA Dodgers were by far the most hurt by injuries of all teams, enough to take 14 wins from them, so while it is true this is one of the biggest seasons of parity in MLB history - if no team had any injury (or all teams had average injuries) we would have expected the Dodgers to be 11 games better than any other team in baseball and go 106-58. Therefore it is no surprised they dominated the Statis-Pro season with no injuries to go 33-15. 

In Statis-Pro their 33-15 mark was a 0.688 winning percentage. If all teams had equal injuries we would have expected them to go 106-58 for a 0.654 winning percentage, and if they had no injuries we would have expected 112-52 for a 0.691 winning percentage - basically the same as they had in Statis Pro.

Statis-Pro NL Update - Leaders and Playoff Series

We have a great wrap up of the NL Statis-Pro season in Montana to be posted next, but first we are going to report the incredible stats he keeps with new software.

Both of our Statis-Pro seasons are down to 4 teams.

Shohei Ohtani went 3 of 4 with a Home Run to get the LA Dodgers to a 1-1 tie with the Arizona Diamondbacks, who missed out on the actual playoffs the last game of the season in a basic 3-way tie for the last two spots.

The other most injured team this season the Atlanta Braves have a 1-0 lead in the "what if" Statis-Pro season (with no injuries), and now have the ultimate battle of the top two Statis-Pro pitchers this season with Zack Wheeler of the Phillies vs Spencer Strider of the Braves.

We posted the four AL final teams in the previous post.

Below we list the leaders in each category in red, followed by the next few in that category. At the bottom we list the key number on each of the leaders Statis-Pro cards, which can be viewed here.

Astros Booted 11-1 By Cardinals - 2nd Round Set

 The Cardinals took an 8-0 lead for the second straight game, this time chasing Justin Verlander by the 3rd inning.

Unlike Game 1 they didnt let the Astros back in this one, instead cruising to an 11-1 to advance with a 2-game sweet.

The join the Twins, Mariners and the only team to overlap the regular season - the Guardians - as the final 4 teams standing in the AL Statis-pro playoffs. The Cardinals and Mets competed in the AL this season because they were relegated from the NL statis-pro league early in the season when my friend was getting his season going, but by the time I'd started they'd improved enough that i claimed them.

Game 1s - St. Louis at Seattle

Cleveland at Minnesota

Cardinals Take 8-0 Lead, Cling to 10-9 Win As Tucker's Potential Game Winning Drive Falls Foul

 The St. Louis Cardinals chased Framber Valdez to take a 8-0 lead in the 2nd inning, then barely survived for a 10-9 win in Game 1 of our playoffs.

The cards needed closer Ryan Helsley, who came in and struck out the first two Astros in the 9th.

However lefty pinch hitter Jon Singleton had an infield single on an "11" that would have been a strike out if he were right-handed. He moved to second base on a wild pitch.

The No. 9 hitter Trey Cabbage, who had led the comeback with an rbi double and 3-run homer, hit a routine grounder to shortstop that was thrown away to cut the lead to 10-9 and put Cabbage on second base.

That brought up Kyle Tucker who drew a clutch batting (BD), which means the next card of 11-17 would be a game-tying double, an 18-38 would be a walk off homer, and a 41-88 would be a foul. It was a 66 for a foul, and then Helsley struck him out to take the Game 1 win 10-9.

Guardians Win Game and Statis-Pro Series 2-1

 The Cleveland Guardians advanced in the Statis-Pro playoffs the day before they hope to do the same in the real playoffs.

After the offenses dominated the first two games, the two PB 2-8 No. 3 pitchers threw quality starts for a pitchers duel with the teams combining for only 7 hits.

For the second time the Game 1 injury to Brayan Rocchio was a blessing in disguise as light hitting Gabriel Arias' great E3 rating at shortstop preventing a key error. In game 1 he turned a double play on what would have been a error and in this game he caught a line drive in the second inning with a runner on second base. 

Grayson Rodriguez retired the first 11 Guardians before Josh Naylor broke up the perfect game with a double to left. Kyle Manzardo then hit a ball back at the pitcher  that required a clutch defensive play that went through for an RBI single.

In the bottom of the 4th, the Orioles answered with one swing of the bat as former White Sox DH Eloy Jimenez homered to make it 1-1.

The Guardians then used a strategy rarely used any more - the hit and run - to score in the top if the 5th.

Tyler Freeman walked and the light-hitting used his Hit & Run 2 (the best contact rating) to ground a single through the right side opened up by Freeman breaking for second base. Arias then broke for second and future hall of famer Jose Ramirez grounded the ball to first with no chance at the double play as Freeman scored the final run for a 2-1 lead.

While former Oriole Alex Cobb dominated his former teammates for a 2-hitter, he hit his max 6 IP meaning he came out as a PB 2-7 to start the 7th inning. He hit Jimenez with a pitch (yes the at bat after he homered) to lower to a PB 4-7 with the heart of the lineup coming up, so the Guardians went with dominant closer Emmanuel Clase - a PB 2-9.

Clase got out of the inning but allowed one runner to take his RR (endurance) to 0 which made his PB 2-8. He then went through the 8th inning 1-2-3 to only drop to PB 2-7 if he came out for the 8th, but instead Logan Allen came in with a PB 2-7 and retired the Orioles 1-2-3 for the save and send the Guardians onto face the Mariners.

The Twins await the winner of our final opening round series - the Cardinals vs. the Astros.

Orioles Rally to Force Decisive Game 3 vs. Guardians in Statis-Pro

Saturday the Cleveland Guardians will play a deciding 5th game against the Detroit Tigers to advance in the playoffs. In our Statis-Pro Baseball "what if" season they will also play a deciding playoff game - in this case against the Baltimore Orioles.

However, the Statis-Pro version let it slip away.

The Guardians exploded early in Game 1 for a 5-1 lead after two innings, and won 7-4 in the opener.

They appeared en route to a sweep when they jumped on Zach Eflin with the most improbable of home runs. Eflin is a PB 2-9, meaning he only leaves the play on the batter's card one in six times, which he did to the light hitting Tyler Freeman. Once on the card Freeman only has one home run number of the 64 - a 33 in the 11-88 range, and combined that means Freeman would hit a home run against Eflin one of every 384 times. However, this is what happened in the 2nd inning of Game 2 for a 3-run homer to take a 3-1 lead. 

The Guardians stretched the lead to 5-1 with another unlikely hero in Gabriel Arias, who came in only because Brayan Rocchio was injured by a line-drive in the 1st game. Arias was actually fortunate in Game 1 because he is a better fielder, and in the 8th inning he turned a double play on a grounder with an E5 - which would have been an error for Rocchio but was a double play for the E3 Arias.

However, the Orioles Gunnar Henderson hit a 3-run homer to key a 5-run 5th inning to make it 6-5 Baltimore en route to a 9-5 win that tied the series to set up Game 3.

Box score for the two games starts with the shocker, Cleveland's best player Jose Ramirez, who hits homers on a 31-35, went 0 for 8.

To recap our alternate world "what if" Statis-Pro season, unlike the real world both New York teams fell just short. The Yankees never trailed against the Mariners, except for the very end of Games 1 and 3 when Seattle hit walk off homers (the last by J-Rod) to advance.

Like in real life the Mets played Great Lakes teams, but unlike the real world where they beat the Brewers before going onto beat the Phillies, the Statis-Pro version fell in the final game to the Twins. 

The last opening 3-game series will be the St. Louis Cardinals at the Houston Astros.

Statis-Pro Playoff Series Added: #8 Cleveland at #1 Baltimore & #7 St. Louis at #2 Houston

We originally had the Astros and Orioles getting byes for our Statis-Pro Baseball Playoffs. However, because we were not able to finish our season after cutting it down to the top eight teams, we decided the 7th and 8th place teams to that point deserved to get a shot at the top two since their games were denied.

Presidential years are tough for me professionally this time of year as I'm running political bus tours etc., so here goes.

#8 Cleveland's season is extended, as they get to play a best-of-3 at #1 Baltimore.

#7 St. Louis also is extended, as they play a best-of-3 at #2 Houston.

You can pull up the rosters we froze after the trading deadline from this google sheet, or use the PDF links in the instructions below.  (4 teams pictured below)
