Head-to-head update

Week 17 head-to-head scores

Triple-A's 222, Holliday Road 151
Gladstone Goatwhisperers 172, Pitch You Blockhead 137
Misfits 210, Chico's Chuggers 96
Arbitration Losers 205, VC Appraisers 163
Ubaldo Spots 189, Pickle Bugs 126

Last week's results have clinched head-to-head playoff spots for seven of the eight teams. And the Ubaldo Spots (8-9) have all but clinched the final playoff spot. The Spot could still be tied by the Pickle Bugs (7-10), but the tiebreaker is overall points so the Bugs would need to tie the Spot AND outscore them by 150 point this week. Unlikely.

The Gladstone Goatwhisperers (11-6) have clinched one of the top two seeds and the advantages that go with that. Holliday Road (10-7) need a win this week to clinch the second top-two seed. Five other teams are tied at 9-8 (Pitch You Blockhead, VC Appraisers, Arbitration Losers, Triple-A's and Misfits) are hoping to maybe claim a top-two spot, but also trying to avoid qualifying as a No. 7 or 8 seed.
