@Cje95 has struck out. Thanks for playing. He does have the option to rebuy for 2k sats and participate in the final week if he so chooses.
The rest of the week played out as follows:
(There was a slight error in yesterday's tiebreaker standings. @siggy47 @Undisciplined and @Bell_curve should have had 2 more runs each. That has been corrected in today's standings. Apologies)
Current Tiebreaker Standings:
Good Luck in the final week!
I have chosen to go with the most fun option for the final week. I took the Red Sox who have 8 games in 7 days due to the suspended game against the Jays they are restarting today. Although the strike wouldn't matter to me. 8 game week could make for some wild swings in run differential.

I like it. Not a bad move after the Dbacks shellacking. Bounce back time
reply
Either going out a hero or dying on the battlefield. I could have just copied turd's pick then I would have a 16 run cushion over the next competitor but what's the fun in winning like a coward.

Well I would by in but given my Run Diff it would take an act of God for me to place so I will sadly bow out... I do get a laugh out of how all my strikes came from no picks.... at least when I picked I was right!
reply
I figured that would make the most sense for you but wanted to leave it open for you in case you really wanted to YOLO.
reply
Is this the final week?
reply
Yes. Since @grayruby has essentially tanked this week you aren't out of it but you need a big week.
reply
Oh, I'm pretty well out of it. I can't believe how quickly the summer has passed.
reply
I don't think you are out of it. You are 15 from Turd. You are going to need another Dbacks like week. The Red Sox with the 8 game week are a complete wild card. Could easily a +/- 10 swing either way.
reply
I can't believe all three of us who took the D-Backs are still in last place, after their huge week.
reply
I have to admit I am somewhat rooting for you. You are now 2nd place in the tiebreaker. This has the makings of the greatest comeback back in Stacker Sports pools history. Brewers up a whopping +22 runs this week thanks in large part to a 14-0 win today.
You are down by 11 runs with 2 games to go. A couple other players hot on your heels but you are solely in 2nd.

You and @wumbo at least keeping it interesting going into the final game of the week.

I'm not sure if you recognized Milwaukee's finest in that photo.
Let's go Brewer's! Do it for the Fonz!
I had a big mountain to climb
reply
Apparently, we all did.

Run differential tells me I was barely avoiding strikes with 3-3 weeks
reply
Requires some luck. You can have a 3-3 week where all games were close except one that was a blow out and that really bolsters you or sinks you.
Run differential is a good proxy for how good a team is in a season. I am not sure it says much in a given week and since we are picking a new team each week I think it is a lot of luck.
I think many of my winning weeks still had negative run differentials and my strikes came with truly catastrophic losses.
Blasphemy. The Red Sox can have a positive run differential playing 8 games in 7 days right, right?
reply
They look shaky but blue jays have been disappointing
reply
Blue Jays are hot right now. 6 in a row. The Jays won both games of the double header last night and dropped -7 runs on Red Sox.
reply
Damn
Blue Jays are copying Arizona lol
reply
Still 3 more games in the series but the Red Sox look awful right now. I think they made 6 errors yesterday.
