1) 0.674, 31-15, Bold Strategy Cottons
2) 0.647, 44-24, Southern Southpaws
3) 0.583, 35-25, Virginia Freeloaders
4) 0.578, 37-27, Aina Haina Parakeets

The Southpaws have 9 games left in the OL (Grey Wolves, Gauchos, Quantum Condors), which are 2 relegation teams and another which has a run differential of a relegation team. However, the matchup against the Gauchos is on the road, and lefty teams obviously struggle in righty ballparks.

The Bold Strategy Cottons have 7 games left in OL, all against the Ewa Beach Fighting Chickens who are right at the relegation border as well.

If the Cottons go 4-3 in their games, the Southpaws would need to go 7-2 in order to win the OL title.

Other fun facts noticed: The Southpaws have absolutely demolished the Cigar City Lagers this year, going 15-4 against them. The Chippewa Grey Wolves, who have effectively clinched relegation, have gone a whopping 0-12 combined against the Parakeets and the Virginia Freeloaders. And by my count, the only team to post a losing record in every OL matchup they faced is the Ewa Beach Fighting Chickens, who need a series sweep of the Mokes to avoid that distinction at the season's end.

The performance of the Condors has been surprising. Whichever of my teams that gets relegated is going to be picked apart.
