The Bulls and the Eagles already have the ticket to attend the playoffs.
However, the rest of the teams await a “battle to the death” in these final three days of the regular series from today onwards.
With 16 victories, the Romans and Cibaeños already make it impossible for the teams Escogido (14-16) and Licey (11-16) to catch up. The Lions closed their 30-game schedule yesterday with a losing record.
While the Estrellas and Gigantes, both with a record of 13-13, are tied for third place and are half a game ahead of the hairy and 2.5 against Licey, who beat the Eagles 5-1 in the second game and now has been successful in three of his last four games.
The Tigers who come out best in their remaining three games could even be above one of the two between Giants and Stars, should one of them lose their remaining games.
Also the felines, a team that still comes in last place, if they win their three remaining games they would tie with the chosen one and then they would have to play a clash that defines the team that would have a mini playoffs. play against the occupant in fourth place.
However, if the Licey succumb to at least one of these, their chances of taking a position on the leaderboard would be practically cut short.
A double clash that Stars would play against the Giants on Tuesday will be vital in determining the qualifying spots.
