September 26, 2017

While there are still a number of undecided categories, it's looking like the pool is Brian's to lose at this point. Here are a few scenarios that have an outside chance to prove that assumption wrong:

  • Other than Brian, Danton still looks to have the best chance to finish in the money. All else equal, if Jose Altuve can regain his NL SB lead, Danton and Brian will finish tied (unless Tanner Roark beans four or more batters tomorrow night, in which case Jud has a chance). 
  • Assuming his HBP advantage holds up, Mike Levine appears to have the best chance to knock Brian completely out of the top spot, but several things have to happen: Altuve has to retake the AL SB lead, Nolan Arenado has to lose the NL RBI crown, Chris Sale has to tie for the AL wins lead (assuming tonight will be his final start), and Greg Holland has to hold off Kenley Jansen in NL saves. 
  • There are scenarios that involve Joey Votto or Daniel Murphy going on a late-season tear and winning the NL batting title that could result in Dan or Garrett winning. More on those scenarios later this week, if they become more relevant.
