A Look At The Potential Winners Of 2017 W-L Contest

Note: I will be away for the rest of the regular season.

With three games remaining on the schedule, let's look at the entries in the 2017 W-L Contest. The Red Sox are 92-67 - and will finish with 92, 93, 94, or 95 wins. Chris Sale's ERA (the tiebreaker) is 2.90 - and he may not pitch again until the ALDS. The entries for those possible win totals:
                W-L    SALE ERA

Anthony D      95-67     2.18
Kathryn L      95-67     3.07
Jeff M         95-67     3.12
  
Michael G      94-68     3.27
Jim M          94-68     3.38
Dr. Jeff       94-68     3.40
Barry W        94-68     3.45
Shawn K        94-68     3.45
Matt K         94-68     3.57
  
Jeff L         92-70     3.08
Miles L        92-70     3.11
Ian R          92-70     3.68
Removing the entries that would lose in the tiebreaker (assuming Sale does not pitch this weekend), it's come down to:
                W-L    SALE ERA
Kathryn L      95-67     3.07
Michael G      94-68     3.27
Jeff L         92-70     3.08
In honour of Pedro, maybe we can get Sandra Bullock to announce the winner ...

What if the final record is 93-69? Does Michael or Jeff win?

Jere said...

1 game left. A win and Michael G. wins. A loss and Jeff L. wins (but humble Allan would be the ONLY one to get the record right).

Well Done to Allan for winning his OWN Competition !!!!!!!!! T-Shirt & Book are on Order ...... That is rather funny !!!!!!! Next year you will have to bid 120 wins ?

So, do I win? (Jeff L)

Do I get a date with Sandra Bullock like Pedro wanted? (Ha ha)

Zenslinger said...

Oh, crap. "W-L must be exact." So no one wins.

Sorry, Sandra.

I guess I'll roll the prize over to the ALDS.
