In the AC East, meanwhile, it is a struggle for mediocrity, as all five of the teams still have a shot at winning the division, and the fourth place team is only two games back of the lead. Still, the three OL teams at the top (Syrups, Puppies, and Condors) together have an 88% chance of making the playoffs and an 82% chance of winning the division. The AC West is the Energizer Bunnies' race to lose. With a 7-game lead in the division, they are rated as a 94% chance of making the playoffs with most of the remainder belonging to the Bold North.
In the NC East, it is the Senator's race to lose (with a five game lead, they have a 99% chance of making the playoffs, either by winning the division or taking a wild card), but the Mokes are hanging in there, with a 70% chance of making the playoffs.
The Cigar City Lagers have a slim lead in the NC Central, with a 93% chance of winning the division or getting a wild card, and the Parakeets, with a six-game lead in the West, have a 96.5% chance of making the playoffs.
In all, eight of the top ten best records belong to OL teams, but only one of the teams in current relegation status are Our League --- the Virginia Freeloaders (though one more, the Black Bears, are just above the current relegation line).
If the season ended today, those eight would also be in the playoffs, but, as seen above, there are several more that could still pass them.
