MLB 2006 Promotion/Relegation World Series Update
Earlier this month I wrote about how a promotion/relegation system would
have played out for the the past MLB season. Now that the first two rounds
of playoffs are finished and none of the teams that would have played in a
hypothetical promotion/relegation World Series are left, it's time to speculate as
to how it could have been.
In the American League, the New York Yankees and Oakland A's would have
played in the ALCS. Since Oakland won the season series 6-3, Oakland are the
AL Champions.
The New York Mets and San Diego Padres would have met in the NLCS. The Mets
went 5-2 against the Padres in the regular season, so the Mets would have
been the NL Champs.
Thus, the World Series would have been played between the Oakland A's and
the New York Mets. Since they did not play in the regular season, it's
going to require some creativity to proclaim a winner. I will look at
common opponents. The A's and Mets both played against the Yankees,
Orioles, Blue Jays, Red Sox, Giants, Dodgers, Rockies, Padres, and
Diamondbacks. The A's went 31-22 against these teams while the Mets went
29-19. Thus, based on the Mets' 60.4% winning percentage over the A's
58.5%, the New York Mets are my hypothetical 2006 World Series Champions.
