FBS Expert League's Exciting Playoff Run, 4 Teams Eliminated!


No Teams in Yet, 4 Teams Eliminated!

This was another exciting and crucial week in the Fantasy Baseball Search Expert League. with only 4 weeks to go it was now or never for some teams if they want to make the playoffs.

The two division leaders Fantasy Baseball Search and Roto Authority continued to dominate with hard fought matches against rival division foes. Fantasy Baseball Search played "The toughest match of the year". I will say this Chris from Pro Fantasy Baseball might have lost 6-3, but I had a 9-1 lead going into the weekend swing and at one point on Sunday it was 5-4 in my favor. I hit here or there or a strikeout and the games is easily 5-5. He also beat me in saves (8-7) for my 2nd overall loss in the saves category (15-2-3).


Roto Authority got a big nearly division clinching win against rival Mock Draft Central 7-3. Even with the tough loss, Mock Draft Central remains in 3rd place in the East division and holds a playoff spot.


MDC is tied (has the tiebreaker) With Evan over at Fantasy Baseball Mafia. They trounced Fantasy Baseball Generals 10-0. That is the 3rd time this year the Generals have been shutout and fourth time they've been held to less than 1 win. The big win pulled FBM into a tie with Mock Draft Central for the final playoff spot in their division. Fantasy Baseball Mafia has a key match up against 2nd place contender Junkyard Jake this week.


The devastating loss for Fantasy Baseball Generals , one of the more hyped teams before the season, eliminated them from playoff contention.


Fantasy Baseball Geeks held off a tough fighting Rotodoc.com 5-4 and took back 2nd place in the West division. Rotdoc.com has been officially eliminated from playoff contention.


Ryan Hallam was brave enough to take over the worst team (record wise) in the league for Fantasy Fanatics and was eliminated from the playoffs this week with a 5-5 tie to Junkyard Jake. Ryan took over the team in week 11 and finished 42-57 and turned this poorly maintained team around with big wins over Roto Authority, Fantasy Baseball Mafia, and two wins over Fantasy Baseball Generals. His team was the worst in the league, but passed two teams since week three (Rotodoc.com and Fantasy Baseball Generals). He can still pass up a few with his steadily improving team.


Baseball Geeks held onto its playoff hopes ting Fantasy Baseball Starters 5-5. Rob remains 8.5 games out with a huge match up coming this week versus Fantasy Baseball Geeks, one of the teams keeping him out of the playoffs. They are separated by 10 games in the standings.


Fantasy Baseball Starters, formally owned and operated by Melnick and Greco was eliminated from the playoffs only 4 weeks after Paul Greco quit the team for mysterious reasons. AJ Pelletier from Fantasy Baseball Starters filled in admirably, but could not improve the poorly performing team fast enough to make a playoff run.


With 3 weeks left every playoff spot is still up for grabs. There are 6 total spots and 8 teams still in contention. We should see at least 2 spots clinched this week. Fantasy Baseball Search and Roto Authority will mathematically clinch, FBS needs 1 win, RA 4.


Key Match ups:
Mock Draft Central at Fight Chance Fantasy - MDC central needs to put some distant between himself and Fantasy Baseball Mafia. Fighting Chance Fantasy might be out of the playoffs, but he is still able to play spoiler.

Junkyard Jake at Fantasy Baseball Mafia - Huge match up for the East Division. Junkyard Jake can cement his playoff spot with a huge win, but Fantasy Baseball Mafia can turn the division chaotic with a big win and needs to outperform Mock Draft Central.
Fantasy Baseball Geeks at Baseball Geeks - This is the most important match up of the week for Rob at Baseball Geeks. He is on the brink of elimination and is facing one of the teams trying to push him over. A big win here moves him so close to a late playoff berth, but also knocks Fantasy Baseball Geeks back. FBG's can all but lock up a playoff spot with a stellar win.


Other notable match ups:
Pro Fantasy Games at Rotodoc
Fantasy Bbl Generals at Roto Authority
Fantasy Bbl Starters at Fantasy Bbl Search
