Expert League Enters The Playoff Stretch: League Notes
It has been an amazing season in the 1st annual Fantasy Baseball Search Expert League. Besides Paul Greco quiting his team at the All-Star break it has been an absolute gem. The H2H format has been amazing and has made each weekly battle EXPERT VS EXPERT that much more exciting.
With 5 weeks left in the regular season all the experts look to turn it on and claim 1 of the 6 playoffs spots that are a ticket towards a championship. As of the beginning of week 19, Roto Authority and Fantasy Baseball Search have certainly locked up playoff spots, and are now playing to hold onto to their respective division leads and earn the first round bye in the playoffs.
Other heated playoff battles are raging throughout the league including:
West Division: 2 playoff spots up for grabs
This division has been a bloody battleground with fierce match ups nearly every week. Fantasy Baseball Search fought off the second place team in week 18 with a dominating 7-2 victory and sealed his playoff spot, which he has a 21 game lead on. The new heart throb and teen sensation Pro Fantasy Games has splashed onto the scene taking second place in the West division with a 5.5 game lead over Fantasy Baseball Geeks led by Sean Sultaire. These two teams have been battling it out for weeks and trading spots in the division nearly every week. The two remaining playoff spots seem to be theirs for the taking, but Rob Reed from Baseball Geeks.com wants his piece of the action and refuses to lay down for anyone. His team has been on a tear after a very bad start and is chasing a playoff spot with only 7 games separating him from fantasy gold. With Rob's hot streak and several match ups coming between these three teams and the division leader Fantasy Baseball Search this division is still certainly up for grabs. The only near lock is The True Guru's team Fantasy Baseball Search will make the playoffs.
East Division: 2 playoff spots up for grabs
Tim Dierkes over at Roto Authority has all but wrapped up his playoff spot with a 23 game lead on it, but he has been slowing a bit and eve though his division lead is still sizable at 13.5 games the raging hot Junkyard Jake squad ran by RC Rizza has been charging towards taking that spot and in week 18 beat Roto Authority 6-4 to gain 2 more games. Junkyard Jake has been very hot over the past 6 weeks and has come back all the way from second to last to claim second place in the East Division. Evan Dickens over at Fantasy Baseball Mafia has completed tough and is in a tight race with Geoff Stein over at Mock Draft Central. They have been locked up all season battling for a playoff spot playing leap frog. Currently that spot belongs to Geoff as he leads Evan by 2 games. That will be a race that goes down to the very last week. Either way one of those great teams may not make the playoffs and that will be a shame.
The other four teams in the league (2 in the east and 2 in the west) are not mathematically eliminated, but are long shots to regain a playoff spot. I will keep you posted on all the league developments from this point on. It winner takes in all in this league. 1 team, 1 expert will be the champion. It's going to be an exciting race to the finish.
