Teams have right around 100 games remaining, so there is obviously plenty of time for lots of changes in the standings. Still, I thought it might be interesting to discuss what features of the current standings are most surprising and how likely these features are to last.
Seems to me that the three most surprising results so far are that the Brewers and Blue Jays are both in first place and that the Giants have the largest lead of any team, a lead of 9.5 games over LAD. If one accepts the old adage that pitching tells the story over the long run, then the SFG lead is safest and the Jays lead is most precarious. Personally, however, I am not too confident that any of these three leads lasts. Thoughts?
