Just wanted to give a brief shout out to coolstandings.com. They run tons of simulations on a daily basis to predict the outcome of the season. Over the past few seasons it's been quite accurate. I especially like to look at the graphs for specific teams to see how individual games impact their playoff odds. Among other things, these graphs show how much more important in-division games are since they have double the effect as game outside of the division.

Also worth checking out is http://www.sportsclubstats.com/MLB.html. For daily graphing and playoff likelihood percentages.

That's a great website. The most surprising thing was that they have the Blue Jays with better odds to make the playoffs than the Rays and Angels.
