Interesting things:

Only 10 teams didn't receive a single vote for a WC spot, and two of those are St Louis and the LA Dodgers.

 

Houston. We like Houston.

 

We LOVE Pittsburgh.

 

More people picked San Francisco to go under the total than over, yet the overs must like them a lot...they got 9 votes as a WC team. Same for Oakland, but they got 10 WC votes, and the LAAofA, CA (8 WC votes).

 

Only 18 of 36 picked the over for the Braves, but they got 16 WC votes.

 

Check back in October. The prize package is in escrow*

*In my garage, somewhere. I think.
