MLB Suicide Game: Epic Round Ten Recap

Round Ten of the MLB Suicide Game was an epic affair, that lasted an unbelievable 24 days before a winner was finally crowned

• Wojo takes the round, which includes the rollover Round Nine, for a cool 285 units
• Rohde has the third-best round in suicide game history (2nd-most wins in a single round), but walks away empty-handed
• The most popular picks were the Pirates and Angels, which were used by 86% of people in the round (25 of 29)
• The Astros were the only team that wasn’t used at all
• The Angels led the way with 22 wins (against only 3 losses)
• The Cardinals were an incredible 15-0 for the field (Reds were 14-1, Nats 13-1, D’backs 13-5)
• The Pirates handed out the most strikes with 15
• The least successful pick was the Tigers at 1-12 (the Giants also handed out 12 strikes, but gave 9 wins)
• Overall, the field was 160-84 (.656 win%) – obviously bolstered by the great runs by Wojo and Rohde
• AL picks were only 57-43 (.570), while NL picks were 103-41 (.715)
• The AL West was a terrific 34-8 (best of any div), while the other two divisions in the AL were both under .500, including the AL Central’s worst 10-18 record
• The NL East led the way in the Senior Circuit with a 29-8 record, just ahead of the NL Central, whose 48 wins (against 16 Ls) were BY FAR the most of any division
• The NL Central was the most popular division (26% of all picks), while the AL Central was the least popular (11%)
• The two eastern divisions (usually the most popular divisions) only accounted for a combined 27% of the picks this round

And, the biggest stat of them all – when Steve was eliminated on August 2nd, only two people remained.  Those final two guys went on for TWELVE MORE DAYS before a winner was crowned.  To put that in perspective, prior to Round Ten, only 2 ENTIRE ROUNDS had even gone longer than 13 days this year
