24 July 2299 - Pennant Chase
The league champion for the regular season is still yet to be determined, but the true race is in the wildcard where the Cherry Ghoulrillas, Quantum Nukalurks, and Dark Bloodworms are all vying to meet the Quartz Star Force in the first-ever Nuka Series.
Cherry visits Dark, where a Bloodworms sweep could make this chase interesting. Well, Dark must sweep to have a chance. The Nukalurks need the Ghoulrillas to lose at least two and then win all three at Wild to either claim the wildcard or finish the season tied with the Ghoulrillas.
Got all that? It is a lot less complicated if Cherry just wins their first two or wins one and Quantum drops one. The Ghoulrillas have a 87.5% chance to clinch the second playoff spot.
