Tijuana
Hispanics Overall 10-4-5 Last Five 3-1-1 Magic Number Playoffs: 0.5 Division: 14.5 Top Seed: 19 |
The Year of the Tamale continues, thanks to some solid reverse jinxing. However, thanks to a tiebreaker with San Juan, technically the Hispanics could still miss the playoffs.

Weymouth
Shaddupu Overall 13-4-2 Last Five 3-0-2 Magic Number Playoffs: 2 Division: 15.5 |
Weymouth is back to winning, or at least "not losing". They haven't won by much (31-19-1 in the past 5 weeks), but a win is all that matters in the playoffs.Luckily for the Poo, they hold tie breakers over every team except Tijuana, Dublin, and Las Vegas (but that could change)

Las Vegas
Doggs Overall 9-7-3 Last Five 4-1-0 Magic Number Playoffs: 7 |
Another week, another 8-2 victory for the Doggs. Sure, last week was against the Jets, but at this point in the season every point counts that much more, regardless of opponent. They sit just 5 games back from top seeded Weymouth, making their Week 21 match up a very anticipated one.

Santo Domingo
All-Star Factory Overall 9-7-3 Last Five 3-1-1 Magic Number Playoffs: 8 |
Santo Domingo just can't catch a break with these statistical changes .First they lose out on 3 RBI to keep them under the weekly record, then they get knocked down a peg due to an ERA change this late in the game. Either way, the All-Star Factory look to solidify their playoff berth this week.

Quebec City
Piglets Overall 9-8-2 Last Five 2-3-0 Magic Number Playoffs: 6.5 |
The Piglets had their sites on that playoff bye, but it's not looking good after dropping 3 of their last 5, including last week to Tijuana. Quebec City now has a better chance of getting bumped down to the 5th seed than getting that bye.

Tokyo
Omyoujis Overall 9-8-2 Last Five 1-3-1 Magic Number Playoffs: 19 |
Well, that was close. At one point last week Tokyo was in danger in dropping down to the bottom 3, but as it stands they jumped over a few teams to take a hold of that final playoff spot - and they didn't even win their match up, and haven't won since Week 15. Go figure.

San Juan
Guerites Overall 7-10-2 Last Five 2-3-0 Cursed Number Playoffs: 19 |
Still trying to claw their way back, San Juan could have easily won 6-4 instead of losing 4-6. But alas, they sit barely outside the playoff bubble - for now.

Dublin
Snake Chasers Overall 8-7-4 Last Five 2-2-1 Cursed Number Playoffs: 18 |
Can Dublin find a way to sneak back into the playoff picture? They sit just 2.5 games back, but have the toughest schedule in the final 2 weeks, and have only won 3 of their last 8 match ups.

Gotta love it when your owners are upset about losing 1-8 instead 0-9. It looks like Rio finally has a grip on this whole tanking thing - and luckily for them they get to play the top two teams in the west for the final two match ups.

Bridgewater
Weasels Overall 6-10-3 Last Five 1-2-2 Cursed Number Playoffs: 16.5 |
In the past 5 weeks the Weasels sit a half game under .500. They're holding their opponents tight, which make for a fun spoiler match up against playoff bound teams, but won't get them into the playoffs themselves.
