Haves and have nots

[Pirates GM (TJ)]

I know the week 5 notes and records are inbound. But one oddity that caught my eye this morning is that after five weeks we only have 10 teams with a winning record, and have 20 teams with a losing record. The 10th place Rays are at .570 and the 11th-13th place Mets, Jays, and Astros are at .490.

We see a 13-17 split occasionally and I remember seeing a 12-18 split once before. But 10 and 20 is new to me.

Truthfully this exact situation is giving teams like mine false hope, though a couple are bound to get lucky!
