Consolation round robin
The remaining 6 teams play a 5-week round robin starting today. The teams with the 2 best records will face off in the consolation championship during the final week of the season. Tiebreakers will be settled by total points scored during consolation play only.
This week's matchups:
Pitch You Blockhead vs. E-3
Arbitration Losers vs. Danger Zaun
Rookies vs. Rocky Mountain High
Overall standings
1. Danger Zaun (3,457 points, last week 1): Who needs the playoffs? The Rich-Brian crew are leading what's become a 2-team race for the top overall score. Four great starts from a beat-up rotation (5 starting pitchers currently on the DL) and a huge week from Corey Dickerson led the Zaunies.

| Rick will be counting on some Marlins in the playoffs. At least this is one of them. |
T3. Ryan's Rangers (3,324 points, last week 3): A steady week - no one was horrible, no one scored 20 - as the Rangers sat idly waiting for the semifinals. Matt Adams, Carlos Gomez and Nolan Arenado led the offense, which will need a boost to get past the Fresh Fish in the semis.
T3. Tanana in the Tailpipe (3,324 points, last week 5): At this point, it looks like about anyone Matt picks up will pitch great. 30 points out of Jon Niese? OK, whatever. Christian Yelich and Matt Carpenter had big weeks at the plate as Tanana gears up for the Misfits in the semis.
5. E-3 (3,310 points, last week 4): It wasn't that long ago that these guys had the best record and the top overall score. Now they've been bounced from the playoffs and are 240 points out of the lead. Yovani Gallardo had a big week, and Dee Gordon and Drew Stubbs led the offense, but the injuries came at the wrong time for Adam's squad.
5. E-3 (3,310 points, last week 4): It wasn't that long ago that these guys had the best record and the top overall score. Now they've been bounced from the playoffs and are 240 points out of the lead. Yovani Gallardo had a big week, and Dee Gordon and Drew Stubbs led the offense, but the injuries came at the wrong time for Adam's squad.
6. Arbitration Losers (3,253 points, last week 6): Two mediocre weeks in a row leaves Tim in the consolation round. Freddie Freeman and Josh Harrison hit well, Jake Arrieta kept pitching well, but the rest of the team was pretty meager. Michael Cuddyer and Gerrit Cole come off the DL this week... just a little too late for the playoff run.
7. Pitch You Blockhead (3,232 points, last week 7): The backups (Joe Panik and Yangervis Solarte) for the injured middle infielders did well last week, and everyone was solid, but Scott couldn't overcome a big deficit to Reid's guys. Ben Revere and Adam LaRoche led the offense..
8. Misfits (3,192 points, last week 8): Jon Jay led all scorers on this team this week. That is a ridiculous thing to think about, but it was enough to keep Reid alive in the playoffs. Now this dangerous squad has what should be a fun matchup with Matt.
9. Rocky Mountain High (3,107 points, last week T9): Mat Latos pitched well, as did Dan Haren (in one start, at least), and Yasiel Puig and Carl Crawford led the offense as Jon's guys awaited the consolation playoffs.
10. Rookies (3,077 points, last week T9): Injuries and ineffectiveness doomed the Braves who, aside from Justin Upton's big week, largely stunk it up. Doug Fister continues to pitch like an ace, and a hot week or 2 from the Braves could make this team dangerous in the postseason.
