Ya some of them are crazy and some unexpected.

The amount the Orioles racked up on that division is pretty nuts. The Angels no one saw.

Nationals and Cards on the other hand not very surprising. It's what the Cards do....every year.

This is actually quite a feat. I don't ever remember every division leader losing the lead this late in the season....

This is great for baseball.
