Sunday's sim is going to be make or break for the playoff:

10-4 New York:
@ 4-10 Stamford
vs. 4-10 Indianapolis
Overall Opp. Winning %: .446

Although New York has gotten most of the heavy lifting out of the way in their schedule, they still have Big Inning and Canton lurking in the last week of the season. If they blink against either of the cellar-dwellers, their prime position could quickly change.

10-4 Canton:
@ 8-6 Big Inning
vs. 9-5 Willow City
Overall Opp. Winning %: .607

Despite sitting in the driver's seat, Canton has what is easily the toughest schedule from here on out: in order they face t4th, 3rd, t4th, and t1st. Any slip could open the door...

9-5 Willow City:
vs. 7-7 Baltimore
@ 10-4 Canton
Overall Opp. Winning %: .554

Willow City didn't do themselves any favors by losing both games to New York this season, and they have a pretty tough row to hoe the rest of the way; that being said they control their own destiny with regard to at least getting into a tie for 2nd.

8-6 Big Inning:
vs. 10-4 Canton
@ 6-8 San Fernando
Overall Opp. Winning %: .536

Big Inning may be in the best position of the contenders: they have games against two of the three teams ahead of them, which bookend games against "weaker" competition in Otisburg and San Fernando. Making up two games with four to play is going to be no easy task however you slice it, though.

7-7 Tallahassee:
@ 4-10 Indianapolis
vs. 7-7 Baltimore
Overall Opp. Winning %: .482

7-7 Baltimore:
@ 9-5 Willow City
@ 7-7 Tallahassee
Overall Opp. Winning %: .536

Technically the 7-7 teams aren't eliminated yet; that being said it would take a friggin' miracle for either of them to get there being down three games with four to play and having FOUR teams ahead of each of them in the standings. They face off against one another this week, and the loser is almost assuredly eliminated.

6-8 San Fernando:
@ 5-9 Otisburg
vs. 8-6 Big Inning
Overall Opp. Winning %: .518

See below for the crazy path San Fernando needs to take to get into the conversation for the postseason.
