The <strong>\u00c1guilas Cibae\u00f1as (30-15)<\/strong> and the <strong>Toros del Este (25-20)<\/strong> have already guaranteed their classification, so attention is now focused on the fight for positions three and four.\n\nThe <strong>Leones del Escogido<\/strong> and the <strong>Estrellas Orientales<\/strong> share third place with a record of <strong>21-25<\/strong>, while the <strong>Gigantes del Cibao (20-25)<\/strong> remain only half a game away. Meanwhile, the <strong>Tigres del Licey (19-26)<\/strong> are going through a negative streak of five consecutive losses and are obliged to react immediately to stay alive in the competition.\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tight schedule and minimal margin for error<\/h3>\n\n\nLions and Stars have four games remaining, while Giants and Tigers still have five games to play. The direct confrontations between these teams could completely redefine the standings in each round.\n\nThe regular season will conclude on <strong>Tuesday, December 23<\/strong>, with two scheduled games:\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Gigantes del Cibao vs. Tigres del Licey<\/strong>, at Quisqueya Juan Marichal Stadium<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Toros del Este vs. \u00c1guilas Cibae\u00f1as<\/strong>, at Cibao Stadium<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\nThe <strong>Round Robin<\/strong> is scheduled to start on <strong>December 27<\/strong>, as long as it is not necessary to extend the regular season.\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Games of the Day<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This Friday&#8217;s billboard presents decisive matchups for the immediate future of the tournament:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Toros del Este vs. Leones del Escogido<\/strong>, 7:15 p.m., Quisqueya Juan Marichal Stadium<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gigantes del Cibao vs. Estrellas Orientales<\/strong>, 7:30 p.m., Tetelo Vargas Stadium<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tigres del Licey vs. \u00c1guilas Cibae\u00f1as<\/strong>, 7:30 p.m., Cibao Stadium<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\nA combined triumph of <strong>Licey, Gigantes and Escogido<\/strong> would tighten the qualifying fight even more, while victories by <strong>\u00c1guilas, Estrellas and Toros<\/strong> could begin to clarify the panorama.\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Total pressure until the end<\/h3>\n\n\nIn any scenario, the tension will be maximum.
