With their loss to the Aguilas over the weekend, the Escogido is unlikely to make it to the round robin tournament that defines who will play in the playoffs. The round robin starts the winter series all over again and is played in January. So far, it looks like the playoffs will center around the Aguilas, Gigantes, Licey and Estrellas. This means there will be games taking place in the Cibao, San Francisco de Macoris, Santo Domingo and San Pedro stadiums in the New Year. The standing as of Sunday, 26 December: Aguilas, Gigantes (one game behind), Licey (three games behind), Estrellas (4 games behind), Escogido (7 games behind), Azucareros (12 games behind).
