Richard Castle - contributing reporter


Quickly approaching the 3/4 mark of the season. People are closely watching the Wildcard race. By record as of this writing here are the top 5 records:
  • 89-32
    • Atlanta (AL-E)
  • 80-41
    • Houston (AL-S)
  • 76-50
    • Huntington Tropics (AL-S)
  • 71-50
    • Columbus Corgis (NL-E), New Orleans Hurricane Dodgers (NL-S)
  • 70-51
    • Buffalo Bisons (NL-E), Salem (NL-W)
Quite a few divisions are still up for grabs but the trade deadline has passed. Let's see what happens! There's some really bad pitching out there, look at all those 30s - 5 teams. New York seems to be the worst, but no surprise as he tanks hard. 



If we look at how each team has expected to win based off recent play, here is what we'd see. Champs and Wildcard are listed based on expected win percentages. Current playoff teams are highlighted in bold. Looks like only Helena misses out on the playoffs with Jacksonville currently owning the last spot in the AL.
