With his second home run of the night, Mitch Garver has hit the Twins 268th home run of the 2019 MLB season, a new MLB record for home runs by a team in a single season. https://bdata-producedclips.mlb.com/5d15eed8-6d8a-4c5d-8d9e-d0025ebfd919.mp4 It is August 31st.

Decent but nothing special. Trey Mancini, Renato Nunez, Hunter Renfroe, Kyle Schwarber, etc. all gonna hit 30+

I just want to thank baseball for once again being one of the only things in my life making me feel young because I'm not on the "its a disgrace!" side of the "lots of HRs" issue.

Can someone who's done math more recently than I have please explain how 6 teams can all be projected at a greater than 55% chance to make the postseason in the AL? It seems fundamentally wrong to have Tampa, Cleveland and Oakland all projected as more likely than not to make the playoffs while also acknowledging the near mathematical certainty that the Yankees, Twins and Astros will be there.

It seems fundamentally wrong to have Tampa, Cleveland and Oakland all projected as more likely than not to make the playoffs while also acknowledging the near mathematical certainty that the Yankees, Twins and Astros will be there. Looking at it, it seems like the odds are all based on who is going to make the wild card game. Since none of those three teams play against each other with a month left, there's no chance that any of them will gain on the others through direct competition, and it's down to (I'm assuming) schedule difficulty. A lot can happen in ~30 games, and since the closest we can get is "these guys have a good chance to make it," it seems likely to me that they all have a statistical shot at it while still knowing that it obviously can't possibly happen that six teams get five slots. Put another way, the odds of each (wild card) team is effectively independent of each other (wild card) team with a month to go. The closer to October we get, the more those odds will go down for one of those teams.

It seems fundamentally wrong to have Tampa, Cleveland and Oakland all projected as more likely than not to make the playoffs while also acknowledging the near mathematical certainty that the Yankees, Twins and Astros will be there. There's 500% of playoffs and three teams are effectively splitting 190% of it (I'm just rounding with the three certainties taking 100% each and the red sox taking 10%) Or to break it down a little bit more YOU KNOW THEY SAY ALL WILD CARD TEAMS ARE CREATED EQUAL. BUT YOU LOOK AT OAKLAND AND YOU LOOK AT CLEVELAND AND YOU CAN SEE THAT STATEMENT IS NOT TRUE! SEE NORMALLY IF YOU GO 1 ON 1 WITH ANOTHER TEAM YOU GOT A 50/50 CHANCE OF WINNING! BUT OAKLAND'S A SABERMETRIC FREAK AND THEY'RE NOT NORMAL! SO YOU GOT A 25% AT BEST AT BEAT THEM! AND THEN YOU ADD TAMPA TO THE MIX, THE CHANCES OF WINNING DRASTIC GO DOWN! SEE THE 3 WAY AT WILD CARD YOU GOT A 33 1/3 CHANCE OF WINNING. BUT A'S, A'S GOT A 66 2/3 CHANCE OF WINNING CAUSE TAMPA KNOWS HE CAN'T BEAT THEM AND THEY'RE NOT EVEN GONNA TRY! SO CLEVELAND YOU TAKE YOUR 33 1/3 CHANCE MINUS THEIR 25% CHANCE AND YOU GOT 8 1/3 CHANCE OF WINNING A WILD CARD. BUT THEN YOU TAKE THEIR 75% CHANCE OF WINNING IF YOU WAS TO GO 1 ON 1 AND THEN ADD 66 2/3 %. THEY GOT A 141 2/3 CHANCE OF WINNING AT SACRIFICE!

to actually break it down, if all things are equal, because there's two wild card teams each team can have three results: Wild Card A, WIld Card B, out of playoffs. That means that each team has 2/3 results that put them in the playoffs, so each team would have a 66.7% chance at making the playoffs despite there only being two spots but that's less fun than Steiner Math
