The Bulls and Eagles already have the ticket to play in the playoffs in their pocket.
However, a “battle to the death” awaits the rest of the teams starting today in these final three days of the regular series.
With 16 victories, the Romanians and Cibaeños already make it impossible to recover the teams, Escogido (14-16) and Licey (11-16). The Lions ended their 30-game schedule yesterday and did so with a lost record.
While Estrellas and Gigantes, both with a record of 13-13, are tied for third place and lead with half a game over the hairy and 2.5 against Licey, who defeated the Eagles 5-1 in the The second game and now has been successful in three of his last four games.
The Tigers who come out on top in the remaining three games could even overtake one of the two Giants and Stars if one of them loses their remaining games.
Also, the Cats, a team that still appears in last place, if they won the remaining three games, would tie up with the Chosen One and then would have to play a clash that defines the team that would play a mini-playoff against the occupant of the place. fourth.
However, if Licey gave in to at least one of them, their chances of opting for a position in the standings would be practically reduced.
A double confrontation that Stars will play against the Giants on Tuesday will be vital in defining the qualifying places.
