CPBL Standings: First to 20th Win

There is one magic number that is on every teams’ mind right now. Yes, we are talking about the number 20th win. But, you may ask, what is so special about it? Aren’t we only half-way through the first-half season?

Well, statistically speaking, the first team that reached 20th win will have a roughly 80% chance of winning the half-season championship and secure a spot in the Taiwan Series.

Take out the 1998 and 1999 season, where the CPBL was in a single-season format. In the past 29 seasons, there were a total of 54 half-season. Out of that 54 half-season, only 10 cases where a team that reached 20th win first but failed to win the half-season championship.
