Week 6 notes and records


Division leaders:
- Orioles
- Royals
- Rangers
- Marlins
- Brewers
- Rockies

Wild Card leaders:
- Angels
- Rays
- Jays
- Braves
- Pirates
- Cubs



Notes:
- One team achieved a 10-0 win this week. Congrats to the Marlins for slaying the Mets on the way to maximum points. On this showing, new owner Conor has his work cut out for him.
- The Marlins regained the lead of the NL East from the Braves. This one has the makings of a ding-dong battle all season.
- The Jays pushed the Astros out of the AL WC3 spot. The Guardians are only behind the Jays on tie-breakers, whilst the Mariners have also hopped the Astros and the White Sox and Tigers have tied them on Win%.
- The Cubs have risen into the NL WC3 slot, ahead of the Giants only on goal difference.
- There are only 8.5 games between the AL WC3 Jays and 28th overall Yankees.
- There are only 7 games between the NL WC3 Cubs and the 27th overall Reds. Could this early-season rebuild/retool result in a same-season playoff berth?
- You might think that our 2023 A's are running at an historically bad pace, but at a .183 Win% they still have a way to go to trouble the 2019 Cardinals.
- All teams met the AB and IP minimums for scoring.


Records:
None this week

Apologies for the delay - I've been under the weather.

And, believe it or not... I actually forgot that I needed to do it.
Perhaps I should get tested.

Appreciate your efforts. The world felt a bit off kilter without the Monday recap. Rest up.

Hey I got mentioned. Glad to see my 7-3 win earned me some kudos *actually reads notes* oh, no...

I'm going to start having parties like the 1972 Dolphins when people hit (18) wins so I know my place in league legend is safe.
