Mike Trout and Miguel Cabrera have two games remaining and are currently at .325 and .329 respectively. Here is a quick breakdown of what could happen in each player’s final at bats and the effect it would have on their batting average.

*Assuming each player has 8 AB over the final two games

Trout faces Seattles’ Iwakuma in Game 1 and has a lifetime 1/9 with 1 BB and 2 K line, while in Game 2 he faces Beaven who he is 0/8 with 1 K lifetime.

Assuming he gets 8 AB (for a total of 559 on the season), which wouldn’t include IBB, or BB, over the final two games here is what he average would do.

0-8 .320

1-8 .322

2-8 .3237

3-8 .3255

4-8 .3273

5-8 .3291

Cabrera faces Guthrie who he is 7/23 with 2 HR 4 RBI 4 BB and 5 K lifetime and Mendoza who he is 4/11 with 1 HR 3 RBI and 1 B off of.

Assuming he gets 8 AB (for a total of 625 on the season), which wouldn’t include IBB, or BB, over the final two games here is what he average would do.

0-8 .3248

1-8 .3264

2-8 .328

3-8 .3296

4-8 .3312

5-8 .3328

Again this doesn’t account for any BBs or IBBs seen over the final two games by each player which would just diminish the number of total AB’s for the season.
