Tough Divisions Topic

I think a division that's stacked top-to-bottom is much more impressive than three 100+ teams that feasted on a 50 win team. Check out our division here, especially compared to the rest of the league; I don't think any team has been more than 4 GB at any point all season:

That's a combined record of 281-195 (.590), with all four teams north of a 95-win pace. Outside the division, we're 209-123 (.630), which is like all four teams playing at a 102 win pace. And the last-place teams (only one of the four will make the playoffs, by the way) are 9 games ahead of any other first-place team in the league!

All four of us had similar pythag splits - Heb dominated the rest of the league, but struggled inside this division - everyone was extremely successful in 1-run games and extra inning games, with the exception of my team who finished 20-27 in such games compared to Heb/45-27, Red/31-22, gnrl/39-23.

How about this one that just finished? I included both divisions since the really poor Baby Foxx showing probably contributed about 10 wins (on average) to each of the other 7 teams in the league. But it still was a very tough draw for "Terrible Titan" and "Menlo Best", especially with no wildcard in this league.

not sure how this will post from mobile, but check out this division before the last run of infra-division games. 385-215 overall and 325-155 out of the division. That’s collectively a 110-win pace vs everyone else!
