He still has his wild card bet and looks like the only one who will be able to challenge overall leader Thine….The People’s Champ won $500 and could be making his December surge. He also still has his wild card bet available.

It’s a race to the bottom between him and Blossom Russo….Waldo Geraldo Faldo took a dip in the standings, but is still holding onto a postseason bid, as of now….No huge shifts in a negative direction in the West, but with three weeks to go, it looks like the end for The Notorious ABT.

Winners
Just four weeks to go and the playoff races are tightening up. In the East, Art Schlichter won $500 and is now just $4oo off the lead with his wild card bet still available….Gordon Bombay surged to the North lead with a perfect week.

Corey seems to be the only challenger to Kenny Powers in the West right now. He closed the gap this past week.

On the bright side, Don Mattingly probably won’t be in last place come season’s end….Yaz dropped $500 and is now on the brink of not making the playoffs….The People’s Champ has contending, then lost $500 and added late bets to boot.

Losers
In a week when most East Division teams thrived, Bud Fox dropped $500 and is now the cellar dweller….A few franchises with no bets in the North, which won’t help things at this point.

He won $1,000, took over the West and is now just $100 back of the overall lead.

Losers
Face continues his downward spiral in the gutter of the East, submitting late bets and losing them all for a -$600 week….Gordon Bombay had a chance to make the North Division a runaway, but slipped up in Week 10, losing all of his bets. He is now tied for the division lead, but is out in front due to the winning percentage tiebreaker….A rough week for Patrick Bateman, who was on the doorstep of the South lead, but instead lost $500. If the season ended today, he’d be on the outside looking in to the playoffs (losing out on the last spot due to winning percentage)….Babe dropped $500 this week and now needs a big turnaround to contend in the crowded West. And, then there’s The Notorious ABT. Gross.

He went into the week with a $700 deficit and now has a $400 lead on the rest of the pack….Gordon Bombay seized control of the North with a perfect week.

But Bateman did it by going 0-for-5 on a five-teamer….No big losers in the West this week, but The Notorious ABT lost $300 and went from tied for the division lead to $400 off the pace.
