Eleven of the 16 NL teams remain in contention for the playoffs. The division races (except in the NL South) are tight with 4 games seperating the leaders in the North and East and 7 in the west. A ten games winning or losing streak could turn anhy of these divisions. However what makes the NL truely competitive is the seven teams within 9 games of the last WC slot and 5 of them with 5 games of that last slot. As the charts indicate the strength of remaining schedule is about even except for 2 teams. The WC leading Cowboys have only 3 games left against teams that are out of contention and the Blue Crabs have 23 remaining against these teams. All the other contenders are between 13 and 16. With the schedule so balanced and teams so close in the standings anything may happen.
