All right, I am about to show my ignorance in math...
I run a fantasy baseball league. Each week we have a head to head match up with another team that includes 12 different categories of scoring. Meaning your highest win that week can be 12-0-0. Wins/Losses/Ties. We have 4 divisions, 5 teams per divisions for a total of 20 teams, and each division winner makes the playoffs plus 2 wildcard teams. The wild card teams would be the next 2 best records after division winners.
For Example one of our divisions looks like this:
As of right now the Braves would be the division winners. We are currently in week 15 of a 23 week regular season leaving us with 9 weeks. So if your highest win each week is 12-0-0 that would mean the best possible record left is 108-0-0. So the Marlins the worst team in the division could mathematically finish with a record of 139-125-12 if you add 108 to 31. The chances of that happening are not good at all...
What I am trying to do is just create a fun projected playoff picture for my league. How many more wins/losses/ties you need to either be locked into the playoffs or eliminated. Whether it be for the division win or for one of the 2 wild card spots. That "Magic Number" if you will. I am not sure if I am asking right for what I intend to do, but there must be a formula of some kind I can use for a math fool like me to put into a calculator. It seems like the answer is so simple it is staring me in the face. I am not sure if I am leaving out info for what I intend to do must this has to at least be a start...
Below are the other divisions and records. Not because I am looking for someone to do the work for me, but in order just to paint a picture of what I am talking about and get myself pointed in the right direction.
Thank you very much for your time and any help. It can be fun for other league members when they have something to look at especially for the playoffs and info like this can also give me writing material for the league articles I write. I will leave it at that for now and hope I have come across clear.
