The National League is weird
With one day left in the season only two of the National League playoff spots are clinched. The Mets and Phillies are even with each other in the East, and the Padres and Rockies are both still contending, along with the Mets and Phillies, for the wild card.
Not to mention the Diamondbacks and their 90 wins is the best record the NL has. My Cubs, the NL Central division champions, have only 85 wins. Sometimes I wonder if it’s because the NL teams are just made of 85% comedy and 15% errors, and then sometimes I wonder if it’s just because the Devil Rays, Orioles, and Royals aren’t around for our top teams to beat up for easy wins. Guess we’ll find out.
