Round Robin Standings
At the end of this 17th day of the Round Robin, the caribes gave a blow of authority by staying in first place in the standings, one and a half games ahead of their rivals and one win away from qualifying for the final, however, the cardinals with their victory are on their heels and the navigators with this tough defeat equal 2nd place in the standings, the tigers have already lost any chance of getting into the final with the painful defeat today and the lions were already eliminated from any possibility of qualifying since yesterday. How great is this sport, caribes, in the regular season there was a moment when you were almost eliminated, and look, almost in the final. The Anzoátegui team has 3 games left, one with Navegantes and 2 with Lara, all of them at home, they are not classified yet, with a victory in any of these games they would secure their pass to the finals, Lara has 2 games left with Anzoátegui, both away, winning both would put them in the final and Magallanes has 2 games left, one with Anzoátegui away and another with Caracas at home, winning both games would put them in the final, in short; If Anzoátegui loses the 3 remaining games and both Lara and Magallanes win theirs, they will advance to the grand finals and there would be the possibility of an extra game if Caribes wins its 3 games and Magallanes loses to Leones, another scenario would be if Anzoátegui beats the Turks and divides honors with Lara, and Navegantes beats Leones, and another option would be if the aborigines lose to Carabobeños and split with the Red Birds and Magallanes loses to Leones the extra game would be (Navegantes vs Cardenales) with these 3 possibilities, On the other hand, if the Easterners lose all 3 games and the Filibusteros lose to Caracas the extra game would be (Anzoátegui vs Magallanes) there is no longer the possibility of a triple tie between these 3 teams, the Aragua with their defeat today no longer have mathematical chances to get into the final and Caracas there is not much to comment on the elimination of the team from the capital of Venezuela, they can only give a trip to Magallanes in Sunday's game. There are 3 games of great baseball left in this Round Robin and a lot of emotions in the final stretch of the Round Robin, 3 teams fighting for 2 spots and the diamond is served to find the 2 finalists that will dispute the Grand Final of the LVBP.
