Two Weeks and Two Spots

Two weeks and Two spots are all the remain for the season and the playoffs, respectively.  This week saw Team Reints, Murdered Da Beat (formerly like 12 other team names), and I'm Never Gonna Win Now clinch a playoff berth.  With KK Kluber clinching last week, four of the six playoff spots are spoken for.  Neither top seed, which gives a bye, has been clinched although KK Kluber, Team Reints, and Murdered Da Beat are all within a half game of the top 2 spots.

Unfortunately, this week also ended the dream for the Minnesota Twins (fantasy version) while the Minnesota Twins (real version) surge towards the playoffs.

Key Match Ups for week 20:

#6 Trout's Back Bitches v. #8 Seager Bro's, Inc.: This is a must win for both teams.  From the perspective of TBB, he is surrounded by teams that own the tiebreaker over him which could be fateful if he finishes with the same number of "points" (see playoff standings doc) as one of them.  For Seager, he literally needs to win out to stay alive in the race as he is two games back with two games left.

#2 Team Reints v. #3 Murdered Da Beat: For obvious reasons, this matchup has huge implications for each team respectively.  A win for Team Reints means clinching a first round bye in the playoffs.  A win for Murdered Da Beat and he moves into the #2 spot and owns the tiebreaker over Team Reints, which could be important if they finish with the same number of points.

All other match ups feature a contender versus a team out of contention.  Although there are only two teams weeks left, there is a lot of time left for movement in the standings.  A reminder to those of you who are out of contention...the consolation champion gets the 1st pick in the 3rd round (1st pick after keepers) in next years draft!  So, keep setting your lineups and participating!

With Love,
Commish
