First Statis-Pro Semifinal Pool - Red Sox, NY Mets and LA Dodgers

The Los Angeles Dodgers left no doubt they are the favorite in our Statis-Pro tournament using 2026 Projected Cards, in a "what if" season where every team gets to play at full strength despite real-life injuries.

POOL A – The Los Angeles Dodgers left no doubt they are the overall favorite by going 4-0 in Pool A, including a 12-4 win over Washington and a hard-fought 3-2 victory over the Athletics last night. They finished pool play with an overall scoring margin of 35-11, an average win of 9-3.

While Ohtani blasted two homers in a 4-for-4 game with a walk in the blowout over Washington, the final game against the Athletics was tied going into the bottom of the 8th inning. Tyler Glasnow turned in a brilliant one-hit performance through six innings before allowing a run in the 7th. With the score tied 2-2, Kyle Tucker was hit by a pitch, stole second base, advanced to third on a wild pitch, and scored when Freddie Freeman blasted a deep drive to right field.

POOL B – Pool B took all six games to decide as all three teams finished 2-2, but the Boston Red Sox — the hottest team in baseball over the last month of the real season — had a +5 run differential to win the tiebreaker and advance. That knocked out the Atlanta Braves, who are ranked higher overall in the real MLB standings but have not been nearly as hot as the Red Sox.

POOL C – The New York Mets upset the crosstown Yankees in the opener and beat Miami twice to clinch Group C at 3-0. The Mets have struggled in the real season due to a long list of injuries, and as noted in an earlier blog, they added a number of great players this season with outstanding projected Statis-Pro cards. However, they also took on several players with significant injury histories while letting stars who tend to stay healthy go, and that trend continued during the real season. Since the Statis-Pro tournament is a "what if" scenario that uses the projected cards for injured players, the Mets are living up to their preseason Power Ranking as the fifth-best projected team in MLB.

Pool J will now feature the three advancing teams — the Dodgers, Mets, and Red Sox. Each team will throw its top four starting pitchers against each of the other two clubs, and every reliever may pitch in one of the two games against each opponent, but not both. The three teams advancing appear in red below. This will be one of three semifinal pools, and the champion of each will be in a 3-team championship pool.

Correa, Altuve Miscues Lead Rays to 9-run Final At Bat, Eliminate Reds

The Reds were ready to celebrate as the Rays needed at least seven runs in their final at bat to advance in the free Statis-Pro baseball game https://tinyurl.com/3y8ckrv7. (The Mets also won their pool, see bottom of blog.)

 With both teams running out of pitchers since each can only pitch once in the two game series, Tampa exploded against four Astros pitchers in the bottom of the 8^th inning but two past Astros World Series heroes had miscues in the field to help them. The painfully messy bottom of the 8th scoresheet is at the bottom of the blog.

The Astros led 5-4, and the Rays not only needed to rally to catch the Reds at 3-1 as a final pool record but needed at least 7 runs in that at bat to past the Reds in run differential as the Reds were a +8 and the Rays were a +2 entering that at bat.

P.S. - After posting this blog we were watching the Yankees vs. Phillies on NBC's Sunday night baseball game, and saw that our first two teams to advance to the semifinals - the Red Sox and Rays - are the two teams with the most wins since June 25 - a total of 21 and 18 respectively with the Brewers in 3rd at 17.

Amazingly, here is how they did it entering the bottom of the 8^th trailing 4-5.

Gavin Lux singled to center to start the bottom of the 8^th.

Cedric Mullins walked.

Richie Palacios singled to right.

Nick Fortes hit a grand slam home run to give the Rays an 8-5 lead.

Carson Williams made it back to back with a solo homer to make it 9-5

Junior Caminero double to left.

Yandy Díaz singled him home to make it 10-5.

Jonathan Aranda flied out to center field.

Jake Fraley then hit what should have been a double play grounder that would have assured the Reds of winning the pool by leaving them with the run differential tie-breaker, but the former World Series star Carlos Correa bobbled the grounder to not get either out and keep the Rays alive.

Lux then delivered his second single of the inning to load the bases.

Cedric Mullins then hit a shot toward 2^nd base that required a Clutch Defense (CD) play by another former World Series hero Jose Altuve. Under the Clutch Defense chart for middle infielders, the “31” random number (range from 11-88 is possible) would have been a line drive caught and double play on the runner returning to second base for an average defender or better (CD 3, 4 or 5). Even a below average 2^nd baseman (CD2) would have knocked the ball down and thrown home for the out.

However for all his great hitting over the years, Altuve is a CD1 which is the only level that would not come up with that ball, letting it through for a 2-run single that left runners on the corners and the Rays already at a 12-5 lead to give them the run differential to win the pool tie-breaker. It was actually pinchrunner Chandler Simpson who raced home for what ended up being the decisive run to advance the Rays.

 Richie Palacios then grounded to second to get Lux home for the 13-5 lead.

Fortes stuck out to end the inning, and the Astros failed to score in the top of the 9^th to finish the 4-game pool play 0-4 with a minus 19 tie-breaker for losing the four games by a combined score of 10-29.

Here are the pool results of all games, showing the Rays edging the Reds in run differential after both went 3-1 in pool play.

The Mets won their pool as well. They were No. 5 in the preseason power rankings but that was based on great projected cards of players who are injury prone, and continued that trend in this injury-laden season. However the injury free Statis-pro version advances after upsetting the Yankees and then sweeping the Marlins.

Reds in Drivers Seat to Advance - Tampa Still Alive

 The Reds blasted the Rays 9-3 to take first place on run differential as they both went to 2-1. 

Then in the 9th inning against the Astros Matt McLean hit a 2-run homer to force extra innings, and third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes made a diving clutch defensive play to preserve a 4-3 win in 11 innings.

The Reds now win the poll unless Tampa beat the Astros by 6 runs or more.

Standings 

Reds 3-1, +8 runs scored 

Rays 2-1, +3 runs scored

Astros 0-3, -11 runs scored

If rays beat astros by 5 they still lose the tie-breaker because the reds would then have the head to head run differential.

Red Hot Red Sox Surge Follows Statis-Pro Shocker

 Some of the 14,000 visits in the last 24 hours to our stories in the Red Sox being our first poll winner come from Garrett Crochet's baseball reference page.

Crocket shut down the Braves in our Pool B opener and that was the difference in the Red Sox stunning the Braves to win Pool B and aevance to one of our 3 seminfinal pools. At the time the Red Sox were in the bottom 10 in the power rankings, but real life followed Statis-pro shocker as they have now sirged into the top 10.

Pool B: Takes 6 Games to Crown Champ

While seven of our nine opening-round pools quickly produced a 2-0 team that could clinch a berth before all six games were played, we decided to jump next to one of the two pools where every team started 1-1. This one is going the full six games before a winner is crowned. (scroll to bottom for final result and pool champ)

That gives a good example in this blog of how we play out our 3-team pools - with each team playing the others home and away and the champ decided  by record, with tie-breakers being head-to-head, run differential in pool play, then head-to-head and if all still tied then a one-game playoff. You can play your own Statis-Pro game by clicking here: https://tinyurl.com/3y8ckrv7.

Pool B may have been the toughest draw of the tournament. It matched the Atlanta Braves, who were the hottest team in baseball when these cards were created, against a Boston Red Sox club that looked like one of the weaker early-season teams but has since played like one of the best in baseball. With only one team advancing from each pool, a quality club was always going home early.

The biggest surprise of the tournament came in the opener when Boston stunned Atlanta 8-1. The Braves recovered with consecutive 4-2 victories over Texas and Boston to climb to 2-1, but that opening loss leaves them with the worst run differential in the pool at minus-3. As a result, Atlanta must beat Texas in the final game to advance.

The last win over the Red Sox was made tougher when Ozzie Albies and Michael Harris III collided and were out for the game, but luckily for the Braves they have about the best backups possible for both with MikeYastrzemski and Maurico Dubon. Yaz ended up breaking the 2-2 tie with an exciting Statis-Pro play. Jurickson Profar is one of the few good Hit and Run players still in baseball, but when Yaz took off he missed the pitch but the chart had Yaz just fast enough to steal the based with his Speed C (D or E would have held the base). Profar then homered to make it 4-2

The pitching matchup favors the Braves, as Spencer Strider (PB 2-7) takes the mound against Jordan Montgomery (PB 2-6). The bigger concern for Atlanta is the bullpen. In their 4-2 win over Texas, the Braves were forced to use their top four relievers plus their best middle reliever. Under our tournament rules, a reliever can pitch only once in the two-game series against each opponent, so Atlanta desperately needs Strider to work deep into the game.

Texas, meanwhile, has a less dominant bullpen overall, but the Rangers enter the finale with an important advantage: Chris Martin was not needed in the first meeting with Atlanta, so their top late-inning reliever is fully available.

What's at Stake?

• Atlanta advances by beating Texas. A loss eliminates the Braves.
• Boston wins the pool if Texas wins by six runs or fewer. If Texas wins by exactly seven runs, Boston and Texas meet in a one-game playoff. If Texas wins by eight or more runs, Boston is eliminated.
• Texas wins the pool by defeating Atlanta by eight or more runs. An seven-run victory earns the Rangers a one-game playoff with Boston. Any win by six or fewer runs—or a loss—eliminates Texas.

One thing is certain: after five games, all three teams still have a mathematical path to advancing. That's exactly what makes Statis-Pro tournament baseball so much fun. Every run in the final game could determine who survives and who goes home.

Here are the two Boston Red Sox vs. Atlanta Braves games in our pool play - the yellow pad from back on this June 7 blog, and the white sheet from tonight.

Update: Strider's start fell apart after he induced a double play grounder but Albies threw it away and what would have been a 1-run 3rd inning was not over until the Rangers had a 4-0 lead and Strider was gone. They added two runs in the 4th to make it 6-0, and at that point the 6-run margin would have resulted in the Rangers and Red Sox in a 1-game playoff for the pool.

The Braves pulled it back to 6-2 after Murphy homered in the 5th and then Kim doubled and scored in the 7th to line up for a Red Sox pool win or a chance for the Braves to rally and win to take the pool.

Then came the wild 9th and both teams pitchers were gone.

Marc Church shut down the Braves in the bottom of the 8th inning and the Rangers line-up jumped on the opportunity in the bottom of the 9th. Seager hit a 2-run homer to put them back in position for a 1-game playoff for the pool title, and Burger homered to make it 9-2, putting the Rangers in position to win the run differential for the title to break the 2-2 record.

However, in the bottom of the 9th Bradford and Leiter could not hold onto the title for the pool.  Murphy singled to lead off the 9th and Mauricio Dubon then pinch hit and hit a clutch batting (BD) home run. In the original Statis-Pro there were charts and ranges for clutch batting, but we use the normal batter's card but change all singled to run clearly doubles, and extra based hits to home runs, while all other numbers are long foul balls.

Here are the final standings with the Red Sox to advances as the Pool B champs to a semifinal pool that as of now the two teams leading Pools A and C - the LA Dodgers and NY Mets.

Boston 2-2 record, 14-9 total runs for a +5 and the title

Texas 2-2 record, 15-13 total runs for a +2

Atlanta 2-2 record, 14-21 for a -7

The Red Sox will advance to one of three semifinal pods as the champion of Pool B. Right now the Dodgers are 2-0 in Pool A and the Mets are 2-0 in Pool C so those are the most likely opponents if you pull up the google sheet of all pools.

Braves Get Help as Red Sox Lose in 10

The Red Sox fell in 10 innings to the Rangers to put all three teams at 1-1 - one of only two pools where all three teams are even with 2 of 4 games played. If you scroll down, the other seven pools all have one leader at 2-0.

Pools in which all teams are 1-1 - if one of these three teams in each group win 2-straight they advance from the pool with a 3-1 mark

B - Atlanta, Boston, Texas

E - Milwaukee, Toronto, San Francisco 

Pools with a 2-0 team - these teams will keep playing to try to clinch

A - LA Dodgers

C - NY Mets

D - Tampa

F - Kansas City

G - Arizona

H - Philadelphia

I - Minnesota

Tampa Wins Big, Arizona pulls upset

 

We actually pasted the wrong table yesterday, so the correct results by pool are below with two games from last night. Tampa took a commanding lead in their pool with an 8-2 win over the Astros to follow their earlier 3-0 win over the Reds. They now play the Reds next which could clinch them in the 4-game pool play since a win would make them 3-0 and the Reds 1-2 and Astros 0-2. Likewise the surprising Dbacks play the Tigers after a 4-3 win against them following a 1-0 win over the Guardians.
