Look at the Blue Jays on that table... they lost yesterday, so their playoff odds dropped almost 6% in one day? For real? The Mariners have lost 4 games in a row, so their odds have dropped 20% this week?
I almost wonder if that's the case of people getting so caught up in numbers that someone makes up some statistic, and people take it as gospel.
