Midseason Playoff Odds Report
Baseball Prospectus's Playoff Odds report, which has been more skeptical of the Bucs than the other projection systems, gives the Pirates a 50.4 percent chance of making the playoffs as of the All-Star break. I'm pretty sure this is the first time the Pirates have broken the 50 percent barrier. Coolstandings, which goes strictly by run differential and strength of schedule, gives the Pirates a 72.4 percent chance of making the playoffs. Go Bucs!
