The Texas Rangers and San Francisco Giants are both likely candidates for elimination from postseason play today.

Texas will be eliminated today with a Yankees win or a loss to Oakland.

San Francisco will be eliminated today UNLESS:

  1. The Dodgers lose to Arizona.
  2. The Rockies lose to Florida.
  3. The Giants beat San Diego.

Btw, how does prospectus calculate Pct3? Some sort of ratio of composite runs scored to composite runs allowed?

"Pct3 is the expected winning percentage, taken from W3 and L3, with the
regression-to-mean component."

It's something to do with "third order wins". I hope others can explain it better than I can. A lot of it has to do with a teams Pythagorean record.
