“Div” Races Update

While the Phillies and Brewers (6 and 9 games respectively), seem to have comfortable one eighth “div” leads, the other 4 such entities have close, in some cases surprisingly close races.

L.A. (Dodgers) has not pulled away in the N.L. West as both the San Diego Padres and Arizona Diamondbacks are only 3 games behind.

Ditto the Yankees, whose A.L. East lead is one game and certainly Cleveland, as the K.C. Royals have gone to “Cleve” and won the first 3 to pull even in the A.L. Central.

I guess the Houston Astros, a team that has made the ALCS 7 straight seasons have a fairly comfortable lead. Currently they are 3 and a fraction games ahead of the Seattle Mariners (the only one of the 30 big league teams to have never made the World Series, no less win it) in the A.L. West.
