MetsFan44 > first off, LOVE the icon. I don't care who you are, if you don't like that...leave thread now lol....
secondly .... I use the overall standings for the bottom 3 (NL & AL combined). http://espn.go.com/mlb/standings/_/group/9
also to clear out a chase one of the following must happen. A team we are fading wins their way out of the bottom three, but will continue the chase until either winning the last game of the chase or once they lose for instance a game 3 but the previous wins get them out of top three. that will get them out of the bottom 3. So clearing the chase after game 4 and still in bottom 3 then a new chase starts at GM1 again. so there may also be times when there are a few extra teams we are chasing until their chase is cleared out. In NHL i think we had 5 at one time.
Hope this helped.
