Forget Parity - Dodgers crush Padres 18-1 and 2-0 behind 3 Ohtani HRs

Here are our new standings after the Dodgers-Padres series. We track standings and results of all games played on this google sheet. You can play your own free Statis-Pro baseball game. Here is our Facebook update:

Our Statis-pro season was pretty much lined up with the actual mlb playoff outlook until Shohei Ohtani - 大谷翔平 crushed the Padres to knock them out of our Statis-pro playoff picture for the moment. This sneaks the Braves into our last playoff spot for the moment in our game during what is a rare actual off year.

As you can see from the top line in the summary, Shohei Ohtani led a major explosion for the Los Angeles Dodgers, going 6 of 10 with 3 home runs in the two game series against the hated rival the San Diego Padres. The Dodgers received "sweep" credit for their 18-1 win in Game 1, then a regular 2-0 win in a rain shortened 7 inning Game 2 to count as a 5-1 record for the series.

That moved the Dodgers up to 16-8 after each team has finished going through their 4-game rotations twice each. Right now the Dodgers would be the No. 1 playoff seed in our Statis-Pro game, and the Milwaukee Brewers would be No. 2. In actual Major League Baseball these two teams would have the bye, but with the Brewers No. 1 and Dodgers No. 2.

Until these games the Statis-Pro season lined up with the actual MLB season on the two teams with a bye and four wildcards, however, these games knocked the Padres out of our playoffs if they started today, so the one difference would be the Braves would be the last team in our playoffs whereas in MLB the Padres would be the last playoff team.  We may also sub the Marlins into our league and make the Pirates the third relegated team.

The Dodgers two remaining home-and-home series are against the Giants and Diamondbacks, who first have to play each other as the last two teams to get through their rotation game twice in our Statis-Pro baseball game twice.

Note on what the cards mean: The info below shows the number from the 11-88 random numbers that are homers on each players cards. The next number is how good they are at stealing bases. The OPS is the calculated likely OPS if in 128 plate appearances if each of the 64 numbers (11-88 is a base 8 so no 9s or 0s) came up once on the batter's card and once on the opposing pitcher's card (which have fewer hits, no extra base hits, and outfielders never make an error on a hit off a pitcher's card). On the pitcher's card the PB is the most important number on a card (2-9 means keeps it on the pitchers card on a two dice roll of 2-9 and only on the batter's card on 10-12, then 2-8 is next best etc). The ERA is the estimate if that card was used, the K is the range of numbers that are strikeouts and the numbers that are hits are always below those numbers with one balk number - so Kershaw allows hits in 11-24, then a balk on 25 - and then how many innings the pitcher can pitch.
