Breaking Away
Devon Young sends me a page with updated division standings since the All-Star break. The Devil Rays, Reds and Rockies are all at the top. It just goes to show that the first half of the season is just as important as the second half.
Note too that the standings since the break in the NL West is reversed from the overall standings in the NL West. This chart also makes it clear how far Washington has fallen, and the evenness of the NL East.
While I was doin' my research, I noticed the Reds ERA has dropped from 5.60 before the break, to 4.13 after. That's huge.
The D'Rays have a similar change... from 5.87 to 4.43!
I plan to update the standings daily.
