Two thirds of the way into the season, each of the five teams in the NL West (baseball) has been in both first place and last place. With 106 games played, the total distance between first and last is 4.5 games. Last year the Padres won the division with a record of 82 and 80, the worst winning record for any team in the history of baseball. This year, maybe the whole division can finish three or four games over .500, in a five-way tie. Then we can go to goal differential to determine the winner.
