Here we are with another Skynet update. Atlanta's pitching seems to have come around over the last 40 games and notches them ahead of the NOOFs in the power rankings. Houston, who Skynet used to hate; has really hit their stride. I wouldn't be surprised to see them challenge Atlanta and New Orleans for the top spot come the Game 120 ranking updates. Hartford stands firm in their ratings, even though they made quite a few adds to their ML roster and slips a spot to #4. OKC takes a bit of a hit, going from 65/70 ratings to 50/60 this update. If Portland could add some bats, they just might pick up on that 2 game lead OKC has over them.
On the other side of the rankings, Montreal moves off the bottom and is replaced by Milwaukee.
By record of the current playoff picture as of this writing:
- 58-22 Atlanta (AL-E)
- 56-24 New Orleans (NL-S)
- 53-27 Houston (AL-S)
- 50-31 Pittsburgh (NL-E)
- 49-31 New York (AL Wildcard 1)
- 49-32 Monterrey (AL Wildcard 2)
- 48-33 Hartford (NL-N)
- 45-35 Chicago & Buffalo (NL Wildcard 1 & 2)
- 43-37 Philadelphia (AL-N)
- 42-39 Oklahoma City (NL-W)
- 41-40 Helena (AL-W)
This writer would love to see a Bayou World Series - Houston v New Orleans.
Good luck the rest of the way!
