First Base: Baseball Standings

Know your team's playoff odds — and exactly what it takes to get there. First Base pulls live standings from Hot Stove and East Coast, runs 10,000 Monte Carlo simulations, and tells you where every team stands across seasons and tournaments. Not just the raw standings — the real picture: who's in, who's on the bubble, and what needs to happen Saturday. HOW IT WORKS Refresh on game day and the app fetches the latest standings, computes playoff odds for every team, and gives you a plain-English summary of your team's situation: "Win both remaining games to clinch the top seed." No guessing. No forum debates. Just the real numbers. WHAT YOU SEE • Live standings for every team in your event • Playoff odds for every team — recomputed on every refresh • "What needs to happen" — the specific win/loss scenario that clinches or eliminates • Full schedule with past results and upcoming matchups, grouped by day • Your team's complete game timeline, past and future • Playoff bracket with results as games are posted • Color commentary — pick a booth voice (broadcaster, skipper, heckler, or scout) that reacts to your team's actual situation • Per-event notifications for schedule changes, field updates, and other team scores TIEBREAKERS DONE RIGHT The odds engine implements the real tiebreaker rules exactly: runs allowed (not run differential), head-to-head when applicable, recursive multi-team resolution, and coin toss as the final fallback. No approximations, no wrong rankings. NOTIFICATIONS (FIRST BASE PLUS) Get notified when your event's schedule is posted, when a game's field location changes, and when other teams finish games — so you always know the latest standings picture without having to check. CALENDAR SYNC (FIRST BASE PLUS) Put your team's schedule on your iOS calendar. First Base maintains a dedicated "First Base" calendar with your team's upcoming games — dates, times, and fields — and keeps it current when the schedule changes. Or do a one-time export to any calendar you choose. FOLLOW MULTIPLE TEAMS Following two kids across different events? Pin them all. The Today view shows your focused event; one tap switches to the next. Seasons, tournaments, multiple leagues — keep up with all of it.

HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT IS Odds are projections from a simulation. Only mathematically certain outcomes are labeled "Clinched" or "Eliminated." Everything else is clearly a projection with the iteration count shown. Pull-to-refresh is always unlimited and always current — there's no stale number hiding behind a paywall. NO ACCOUNT. NO SERVER. NO FUSS. Everything lives on your device. Zero sign-up. No personal data shared. Completed events are archived locally forever, even if the source drops the old page.
