The season of baseball in 2010 has been a refreshing change from those of years past. No longer do we see the dominant divisional leads in nearly every division in the league, and it really does look as if there will be plenty of exciting pennant races as the season concludes itself later this year.
If you look at any division in the league, you'll notice that the race is close there. With the exception of only one division, every other one has a first place team that holds a lead of no more than two games. This could make for an interesting fall.
To make things even more interesting, there are plenty of third place teams vying for their pieces of the action as well. Let's take a look at a few of the more interesting divisional situations in the league.
The conversation has to start with the NL East, which has certainly demonstrated more parity than any other division in the league. Just how interesting are things in this division?
It seemed like just week that the Marlins were at the top of the division, and it nearly was. A mini losing streak somehow shifted them into last, while the Mets climbed out of the cellar and near first place with a small winning stream.
Nobody anticipated this current outburst in Washington, as the Nats are suddenly a somewhat respectable team. This is a team that could finish with a winning record for the first time in its history, not to mention the fact that they have the most anticipated rookie baseball pitcher in years on their team.
There are so many similar races going on around the league that it would take too long to recap them all. However, one more surprisingly nice story line is going on in San Diego, where some of the best pitching in baseball is unexpectedly taking place. The team may just have what it takes to make the playoffs and an exciting pennant race should take us through the end of the season as they go up against Colorado, LA, and San Francisco.
What exciting stuff this is if you happen to love baseball. Savor it while you can, as next season might bring us more of what we're used to.
