After the scheduled regular season games were simulated, doveRBI and Glassjoe were tied for the top spot.

To determine which one would earn a bye and homefield advantage for the World Series, an extra game would be played.

To determine which team would have home field advantage in THIS game, I first looked at the season record... It's 3-3, so I added the number of runs scored.

Glassjoe had the slight advantage, so he would be the home team in the following one-game playoff.

All statistics are treated as part of the regular season.
