webmaster@pennantsolutions.com

WE ARE BACK and OFF TO THE (PENNANT) RACES !!!

For More Details,

Question from 2017: Why did NL Office take 2 tries to Determine LA's Tue. 9-12-17 Playoff Clinch Requirements

Click on the Links Below

(according to Bill Shaikin of the L A Times)? We may never know.

NL DIVISION STDGS

NL WILD CARD STDGS

PLEASE NOTE: WE ARE FULLY COVID-COMPLIANT (UNLIKE SOME SITES)

AL DIVISION STDGS

THAT MEANS, IN ADDITION TO PRACTICING MASKING, DISTANCING, ETC.,

AL WILD CARD STDGS

WE FOCUS ON "EARLY" ELIMINATION THAT TAKES THE FULL REMAINING SCHEDULE INTO ACCOUNT,

RATHER THAN RELY ON THE STANDARD (BUT OFTEN LATE) MAGIC NUMBER.

SO WHEN SHOPPING FOR A PENNANT ANALYZER, INSIST ON THE TRUE PENNANT SOLUTION ©.
