The Bet - Baseball Edition

Just as a refresher, I'd like to reiterate the rules from last year:

The wager: One bottle of mid-grade spirits, to be chosen by the victor. No plastic jugs from the bottom shelf, no dusty bottles from the top shelf... somewhere in the 30-60 dollar range.

The rules: Each participant - Zaaq and BS - must choose the correct final standings of all divisions in the American League and National League, the Wild Card teams, the Division Series winners, the League Championship winners, and the World Series champ. Additionally, each participant must choose each league's MVP, Cy Young Winner, HR champ, Batting Average Champ, Strikeouts Champ and ERA champ (for starting pitching).

The point structure:
  • One point for each correct slot picked - 30 total possible points
  • 2 additional points for each division winner correctly picked - 12 points
  • 5 additional points for each division completely correctly picked - 30 total points
  • 2 points for picking the correct wild card teams - 4 total points
  • 4 points for picking each correct divisional championship winner - 16 possible points
  • 6 points for picking the correct league champion - 12 possible points
  • 10 points for picking the world series winner - 10 possible points
  • 1 point each for MVP, Cy Young, HR leader, Average leader, ERA leader and Ks leader - 12 possible points
  • 1 point each for correctly answering the 10 yearly questions generated by BS and Zaaq - 10 possible points
Perfect season = 136 points
