Wild card = reaches the postseason without winning the division. Postseason series use team-strength ratings at full expected strength (October rotations are unknowable in advance). Lineups and bullpens as of the run date; players on the 10/15-day injured list rejoin the simulation at their projected return date (estimated from two seasons of MLB transaction history); trades and 60-day IL moves are reflected at the next weekly run.

Awards & leaders

End-of-season odds from 20,000 Monte Carlo draws of every remaining plate appearance, added to what each player has actually done so far.

Modeled voter behavior. Most Valuable Player odds are not simulation output. The simulator projects each player's final stat line; a scoring model then guesses how voters would read it. The weights were chosen to reflect historical voting patterns, not fitted to ballots — this is the softest number on the page.
