Tinker to Evers to Chance is a compilation album of songs by Game Theory, released in 1989. The liner notes describe the included tracks as songs which "reached national obscurity, as opposed to local obscurity." Band leader Scott Miller went on to form The Loud Family.

The album's title refers to the poem "Baseball's Sad Lexicon", though it also suggests the band's penchant for tinkering and allowing seemingly random elements into their work[citation needed].
