1. The Cheat

Garland & McCarthy should be flipped.

McCarthy pitched yesterday, Garland two days ago.

Ditto Schilling & Wakefield.

I also find it damn hard to believe that both the Yanks and Bosox are going to split their series with, respectively, the O's and Jays next week. I mean, as long as the Yanks keep their game lead, I'm cool with it, but I find it highly unlikely.

You have counted wrong. If the Indians and White Sox each win all the games you predict them to, they will each be 97-65 and a one-game playoff will take place at Jacobs Field.

corey, that's not true. In this scenario, the Indians and White Sox would be tied for both the divisional and Wild Card lead. In this case, head-to-head matchups, not a one-game playoff, determine who will be the Wild Card and who the division winner. The White Sox, having won 10 of their first 13 against the Indians, had already clinched the better head-to-head record against the Indians in July.

Will, you're looking smarter than the Davenport simulation right now. Way to go!

Fair enough, but Will still counted up the wins and losses incorrectly.

Congrats, Juice bloggers, you made it into today's Boston Globe! Their "Sidekick" pullout section (with the TV listings, comics, stuff to do, etc) cites baseball blogs once a week and Will's initial prediction post was there today (edited somewhat). I don't think there's a weblink, unfortunately, but its a big enough paper that I'm sure many local libraries get a paper copy.
