The Summer Score – Updated for October 6, 2022

Ken Lambert – Seattle Times

The season is over… some teams are done until the spring. The playoff squads are hoping to extend summer well past the end of October. Seattle is going for the first time in a generation. Others, like the Cardinals, Dodgers, Yankees and Braves, are here often. And evidently 329 makes for a perfect Summer Score.

There are 4 points awarded for each day in a playoff position this September. Plus a point is given to any team who pulls within 1 game of a playoff spot.

The Braves, Cardinals, Dodgers, Mets, Padres and Philles all added to their Summer Score in the National League.

The Astros, Blue Jays, Guardians, Mariners, Rays and Yankees all added from the American League.

Remember when the AL Central looked like it was going to be a razor thin race, right down to the wire? The Cleveland Guardians were not going to have that as they can clinch the Division Title this weekend and keep adding to the Summer Score.

There are 4 points awarded for each day in a playoff position this September. Plus a point is given to any team who pulls within 1 game of a playoff spot.

The Braves, Cardinals, Dodgers, Mets, Padres and Philles all added to their Summer Score in the National League.
