The Race Is On for Season 14!

With 16 games to go things are really heating up and the pressure is on! Lets take a look shall we.

NL North

Pittsburgh Pirates hold a 7 game lead that I imagine will hold up easily.

NL East

This is a complicated mess, Atlanta and Trenton are tied atop the division with Cleveland waiting for the hammer to drop on both. Atlanta has been folding up shop it seems and hasn't played well against anyone of late. Their remaining schedule is actually the easiest but not playing well has them reeling. Trenton's schedule is the toughest by far of the three. Cleveland has a medium schedule left comparably. The last 6 games of the season could tell the tale before it is said and done.

NL South

Florida Marlins has a very comfy lead by 12 and don't look for it to change much.

NL West

Kansas City Royals has a comfy lead by 11 and they are happy about that because their schedule is not to their liking at all.

NL Wild Card

5th seed is held by the Chicago Cubs and has the spot pretty well wrapped up.

Chances are the remaining playoff spot will be owned by one of the teams from the East. The reason I say that, Houston and New Orleans are both in the murderous South and both have some really bad schedules. Going 8-8 may be the best they can do. I would say whoever gets to 85 wins first will be the 6th seed.

AL North

St. Louis Barracudas are in first but may have to hold off the feisty Toronto Blue Jays in the last three games to claim the title.

AL East

Boston Red Sox are in first but by no means safe as there are two usurpers on their tails. Dover and Syracuse could very well make a big statement before it is over. Boston has the worst schedule of the three so the ground by the other two could very well be made up.

AL South

Durham has the lead at the moment, but as in seasons past the silent Corn Dogs are right there. You want mustard with that?

AL West

Anaheim Angels has the lead today but all four are still in the hunt. Las Vegas probably has the worst schedule of the bunch. The Angels have been pouring on the coal winning their last 5 but that could end abruptly. Helena and Omaha can very well make a serious statement before it is over.

AL Wild Card

5th seed will go to the loser of the South battle.
6th seed will probably go to the second place finisher of the 3-way East rumble.
