The Bulls and Eagles already have the ticket in their pockets to attend the playoffs.
However, the rest of the teams will face a “battle to the death” from today in these final three days of the regular series.
With 16 victories, the Romanians and Cibaeños already represent impossible that the sets, Chosen (14-16) and Licey (11-16), can give reach. The Lions ended their 30-game schedule yesterday and did so with a losing sheet.
While the Stars and Giants, both with a mark of 13-13 are tied for third place and lead by half to the hairy and 2.5 to Licey, who beat the Eagles 5-1 in the second clash and now has aired out in three of his last four engagements.
The Tigers coming out windy in their three remaining games could even be above one of the two between Giants and Stars, in case one of them loses their remaining games.
Also the felines, a team that is still in last place, to win its three remaining games would tie with the Chosen and then there would be a clash that defines the team that would play a mini playoffs against the occupant of the fourth position.
However, in case the Lyceum succumbs to at least one of these chances of opting for a place in the rankings would be virtually truncated.
A double clash that Stars would play against the Giants on Tuesday will be vital in defining the qualifying places.
