Here is where the races stand as the final two series for every team get underway today or tomorrow:
The most up for grabs division is the weak MGL East, but no division is decided and we could be in for a wacky final week of the season.
Oh, and I probably have been remiss in not making more of a deal of this, but Denver's
Brett Taranto is hitting .414 going into the final 7 days of the season. It is almost inevitable that for the first time in WPK history a batter will end the season (one with enough plate appearances to be eligible for the batting title that is) with a .400 or better batting average. The current single season best is Bud Lindsay's .394 in the 1979 season.
Taranto has collected 220 hits, so he'll fall well short of the record of 266 set by Nick Johnson just two seasons ago. Still, a very impressive, and likely MVP, season for our veteran first baseman.
