The Official Chicago Cubs 2016 World Series Champs!!!!!!

[Dan Druff]

Cubs will make the playoffs. The crappy two wildcard format guarantees that any somewhat-competent team will make the playoffs, since it ensures that 1/3 of baseball sees the postseason. This is a good idea for revenue but very unfair to the better teams, given the high variance in baseball games.

Cubs are looking very human, though. If Arrieta doesn't return to what he was, then this team will end up an utter disappointment.

Dodgers would be pretty much a lock to make the playoffs as least as a wildcard, but the absence of Kershaw (might be the whole season!) might be a killer. It will definitely impact them in the playoffs. Interesting that both Kershaw and Greinke went down around the same time, after both being pretty healthy for most of their careers.

[lol wow]

the only good thing about the dodgers is the location of the stadium the field level seats and the t deck weirdly and obv vin but todge admit they are unwatchable

also where are we on a todger lodge joke didnt you throw ur friend under the bus for a dating show

When you believe in things that you don't understand,
Then you suffer,
Variance, ain't the way


Would you prefer that, like European soccer, each team play all others home and away? All teams play the exact same schedule and thus whoever wins the most games by definition deserve to win the league?

You don't really want to forfeit the false joy of playing in your slapnut division and league during the regular season, do you?

The Dodgers are "the somewhat-competent team that makes the playoffs" as you describe. Enjoy the tease.

Don't worry too much about your perceived unfairness to better teams given the playoff format. They're doing just fine.

World Series since 2004 .... Extraordinary Variance or cream consistently rising to top?
Giants have won 3
Red Sox won 3
Cardinals won 1 and appeared 1x
Royals won 1 and appeared 1x consecutive years
Rangers appeared 2 consecutive years

Hang it up, my man.

In somewhat a similar vein I was watching Red Sox/Giants and was filled with the notion the Cubs just don't come back from 8-0 like the Giants did. They just don't have that kind of offense. Maddon is god though so we'd like to see that.

So do the Dodgers. Kind of a bad analogy since one of those events is extremely unlikely.

Don't look now, but the Cubs are hitting under the Mendoza line in the postseason.
