The Race

On the heels of their sweep of the Mets, the odds of the Nationals making the playoffs have risen to about 2.5%. Those odds are still long, but we're still in the race. Here are the standings:

Team	Record	Pct.	GB
Houston	78-68	.534	---
Florida	78-69	.531	.5
Philadelphia	78-69	.531	.5
Washington	76-71	.517	2.5

One of the interesting aspects of the race has been the total collapse of the Mets. Once poised to make a run, the Mets are 1-9 in their last ten games. They are now seven games behind Houston and totally out of the playoff picture.
