Por su parte, ya es oficial la eliminación de las Águilas del Zulia y de los Caribes de Anzoátegui, dejando a los seis equipos restantes luchando por el campeonato, con la salvedad que uno de esos seis se van a despedir del torneo, para ser más explícito, los que estén en el quinto y sexto puesto, correrán con el riesgo de quedar fuera de la batalla por el título, si la temporada hubiese culminado el viernes 23, los clasificados serían, Caracas, Lara, La Guaira, Magallanes con cupo directos, mientras que en el play-in, estarían Margarita como quinto clasificado y los Tigres en el sexto, algo que obligaría a estos últimos a ganar par de juegos.

Mañana 26 de diciembre se reanudarán los juegos, un partido bastante llamativo, es el de los Navegantes de visita en el estadio de los pájaros rojos, el Antonio Herrera Gutiérrez, será el lugar en donde Magallanes darían un paso firme al Round Robín, o, por lo contrario, complicarse, ya que si caen ante Cardenales, los Bravos de Margarita volverían a empatarlos, claro está, ellos también deben ganar su compromiso, si los Tiburones pierden la cosa se pondría color de hormiga en las aspiraciones de los guairistas por tener lugares altos en la tabla de posición y de esta manera lograr reforzarse con el mejor material disponible en el Draft de adiciones y sustituciones.

After the pause for the celebration of Christmas, the action will return to the different fields where professional baseball is played, in the land of Simon Bolivar, Venezuela, the fans will feast with the games that will take place this week, which will surely be the most exciting of the tournament, as it is the last of the elimination round, only two teams with safe places in the play-offs, Caracas, with two wins against Cardenales de Lara, has already assured that in the worst case scenario, they would be in second place, while Lara, if they do not finish first or second, could only fall to third place.

On the other hand, the elimination of the Águilas del Zulia and the Caribes de Anzoátegui is already official, leaving the six remaining teams fighting for the championship, with the exception that one of those six will say goodbye to the tournament, to be more explicit, those in fifth and sixth place, If the season had ended on Friday 23rd, the qualified teams would be Caracas, Lara, La Guaira, Magallanes with direct qualification, while in the play-in, Margarita would be in fifth place and the Tigres in sixth, something that would force the latter to win a couple of games.

Tomorrow, December 26, the games will be resumed, a very striking game is that of the Navegantes visiting the stadium of the red birds, the Antonio Herrera Gutiérrez, it will be the place where Magallanes would take a firm step to the Round Robin, or, on the contrary, complicate themselves, since if they fall against Cardenales, If they lose against Cardenales, the Bravos de Margarita would tie them again, of course, they must also win their game. If the Tiburones lose, things would become very difficult for the Guairistas' aspirations to have high places in the standings and in this way be able to reinforce themselves with the best material available in the Draft of additions and substitutions.

This week will also serve to know the winners of the different offensive departments, such as batting champion, home run and RBI, from there would come the individual awards, as the producer of the year, most valuable and rookie of the year, in home runs the fight is closed, Balbino Fuenmayor, Jose Rondón tied with 11, Isaías Tejeda with 10 and getting into the papers in the last days, the Cardinals center fielder, Gorkys Hernandez with 9, the same happens with the tows, where the thing seems to be clearer, would be in the batting title, Freddy Fermin, the Caracas catcher is batting above 400, something that will give him that title and for sure the rookie of the year, and the thing does not stop there, because many journalists say they would vote for the rookie player to be more valuable.

Although it will be a shorter week than usual, since the number of games will be less than usual, you can add how attractive it will be to see that series for the wild card, which will arouse attention, not only in the fans of the teams that face each other in that series, also for the 4 teams that are already classified directly to the all against all, remember that from there will come the third eliminated, and this will give way to the additions and substitutions that will make the 5 sets that definitely reach their passes to that instance of the ball tournament in Venezuela.

In addition to this Draft is expected by the players who have not been taken in the other Caribbean leagues, and the Dominican Republic is the one that contributes more players to the other leagues in the region, then comes Mexico, which usually get there excellent pitchers, both starters and relievers of very good quality, all this can be seen after the end of the elimination round, play-in and the local Draft, which already has very striking names, such as: Niuman Romero, Balbino Fuenmayor, Salvador Perez and a series of good pitchers, from both sets eliminated until today.

Although the baseball season is just culminating its elimination round, it is not unreasonable to say that it is one of the best seasons of the last 10 years, both in quality of ball we are seeing, as the revival of the attendance of fans to sports venues, it took many years to see again the UCV stadium, With more than 20 thousand people in a Caracas against Magallanes, there are many positive factors that have made a resurgence of baseball in Venezuela, let's wait for the development of this last week of the year and actions in the qualifying round, to make a publication regarding possible additions and substitutions.
