BP Playoff Odds Snapshot Thread

Recommended Posts

I'd be interested to know what the BP odds were this time last year. We almost have the same record I believe. Competition this year is certainly much stiffer.

A year ago today, we were 72-58 and 1.5 games ahead of Tampa for the final wild card spot. Therefore, our odds were much better.

Huge week for Oakland, going 6-1 for the week and seeing their playoff odds go from 59% to 95% in seven days. Meanwhile, our 2-4 week cut our odds in half.

The O's are sinking fast (but just won the Chicago opener, not included in tonight's report).

Big win last night for us per BP. Added 3.3% to our odds and we're back up to 9%. I know, not great but better than 5% a few days back!

It's amazing how much the odds can fluctuate in a day, depending on who wins and loses. Not only did we win yesterday, but the Rays and Yankees both lost, so that improved our chances significantly.

We are at the point, though, where our odds will slip noticeably on any day when we don't gain ground, even when we win.

Boston helped us vs the MFY. Lets hope they do the same to the MFR. (That's right, the Rays are on that list now too!)

I think this may be the last time I bother to update this thread, unless the O's have a reversal of fortune.

Acknowledging that the odds do not go back as far as the trade deadline, IMO, it is really difficult to look at these odds and reconcile them with the prospects and early draft pick we gave up for fairly mediocre players. Our September schedule was always going to be difficult. Sure, it's been close and we've had chances, but we had a competitive team BEFORE those trades were made and there would have been nothing wrong with playing out the string with the group that was doing fairly well as it was. Of course, there is still time for this team to go on a crazy good run to finish the season, but it is looking pretty bleak.

I've said this in a few threads and there will be time to discuss more in the offseason, but I think our GM showed a fundamental misunderstanding of our competitive position in making those trades (pretty much confirmed by the odds above) and we are a weaker organization because of it. IMO, it is one of the poorest series of moves made by an Os GM in many years.

Cleveland's odds took a quantum leap from 22.1% to 54.4%, as they swept the White Sox while the Rangers were getting swept by Oakland, moving them within a half-game of the Rangers (and Tampa, which went 2-1).

It's interesting that, although Texas and Tampa have identical records and just split four games, Tampa's playoff odds went slightly down and Texas' odds went up compared to where they were just prior to that series.

    • I don’t consider a 4 o’clock game a night game. He also caught Wednesday night and Thursday day this week. Moral of the story is McCann will start 4 games in 7 days because he is Burnes preferred catcher.
    • It is absolutely possible. In 2022, the Mets gave a QO to Bassitt, Nikki, and DeGrom. The Red Sox gave a QO to Boegarts and Eovaldi. The Yankees gave a QO to Judge and Rizzo. The Dodgers gave a QO to Turner and Anderson. I know that it seems to be a foregone conclusion that Santander will not be on the team after this season, and while I generally agree that it is more probable than not that he will not be re-signed, I do think there is a non-zero chance that he will be retained. I think he is the most likely of Mullins, Hays, and himself to be retained, even if it is a small chance. The team has told us how they feel about his bat because he plays essentially everyday, and I have heard Kostka say that they value his clubhouse presence.
    • Santander won’t get a QO, and if he did, he would accept. His defense is declining and we have too many capable youngsters who should replace him effectively. But to your question, I don’t know if there’s a limit, but I doubt it.
    • O's will probably have to wait till July for a trade because there are so many more buyers than sellers.  I think teams like the Blue Jays, Rays Tigers and Mets are likely to be sellers but they are still in the race although not very good teams as constituted. 
    • No Scott. He’s way too undependable. We need someone who WON’T enter a game and walk folks like he’s promoting a healthy lifestyle. He’s been a lot bette4 this season, but he’s too undependable, and we already have too many of those. No Flaherty either. That’s like taking your GF back after she cheated on you.
    • The team's continued success has really put Elias on the spot IMO and I don't see a Flaherty type as an option anymore.  My money is on a sensible trade that comes at a price high enough that most of us here, including myself, won't like, but a premium comes with having bad luck and that's where the O's are at the moment.
    • I would be very surprised if every last one of the GM's Elias talks to about quality starting pitching doesn't start by asking about Westburg and the rest.  Again, I think it's a mistake to believe that the O's have a ton of leverage here.  They certainly have some, and Elias is smart and disciplined, but I don't see any bargains.  I especially don't see the luxury of acting like youth and multiple years of control is any kind of rigid starting point for the O's.
