Title: My System's Predicted 2107 Standings
Post by: Huckleberry on March 01, 2017, 09:20:29 AM

Now that the draft is complete, here's an update on my system's predicted standings for each league. First the ABL:

NORTH AMERICAN DIVISION

Team W L PCT GB Washington Senators 88 68 0.564 - Mexico City Aztecs 75 81 0.481 13 Los Angeles Stars 73 83 0.468 15 New York City Empires 66 90 0.423 22 Florida Hurricanes 59 97 0.378 29 LATIN AMERICAN DIVISION Team W L PCT GB Santo Domingo Palmchats 99 57 0.635 - Sao Paulo Toucans 98 58 0.628 1 Buenos Aires Dolphins 85 71 0.545 14 Rio de Janeiro Jaguars 83 73 0.532 16 Puerto Rico Coqui 54 102 0.346 45 These predictions anticipate two close races in the Latin American Division for the division title between the Palmchats and the Toucans and then for the final ABL playoff berth. Now, the IBL: AFRO-EUROPEAN DIVISION Team W L PCT GB Paris Fleur-de-Lis 86 70 0.551 - Black Forest Foxes 80 76 0.513 6 Rome Generals 78 78 0.500 8 Scottish Claymores 77 79 0.494 9 London Monarchs 64 92 0.410 22 ASIAN DIVISION Team W L PCT GB Brisbane Bandits 93 63 0.596 - Mumbai Cobras 87 69 0.558 6 Karachi Falcons 79 77 0.506 14 Seoul Crushers 74 82 0.474 19 Singapore Merlions 62 94 0.397 31 Another tight IBL wild card race is predicted as there are 4 teams within 3 games of each other for the final playoff spot in these predictions plus the upstart Seoul squad is within shouting distance. We'll see if there are any major deals made between now and the start of the season before the final predictions are posted (both mine and OOTP's).

I would take a 10 win improvement from last season. Slow climb to the top...

Updated IBL (not many roster changes in the IBL - this of course does not take into account injuries, etc.)

Oh it will affect you alright. I don't consider injuries in my system, I'm too lazy.

Losing Kasiya would cost you about 3 or 4 wins in the system.
