Will the Estrellas be left out of the round robin?

After holding on to the first place position for the first two months of the season, the Estrellas Orientales on Tuesday, 19 December 2017, had slipped to fifth place, displaced by the two capital city teams, the Leones del Escogido and the Tigres del Licey.

The team standing now has the Aguilas Cibaeñas tied with the Gigantes del Cibao in the lead, with both ensuring they will be in the round robin. Still to be decided is which will be the other two teams. The contenders are the Leones del Escogido, that is two games away from first position, and the Tigres del Licey, three games away. The Licey will have it easier because they will be playing the Toros del
Este.

The Estrellas are now four games away from the first position, but still with a chance to make the next round of the Dominican Winter Professional Baseball Championship that will resume after the Christmas celebration. The Toros del Este have kept their hold of the last position they have had all throughout this season.

The remaining games this season are:
