Looking at the Standings

While it's pouring down rain here in the 'Burg, I thought it's time for a glance at the standings (through Tuesday, July 22nd):

South                                                         North
                       Record  Pct. GB                                      Record  Pct.  GB
1. Waynesboro  27-12  .692                        1. Luray           28-10  .737
2. Staunton       23-17  .575   4.5                 2. Fauquier      23-15  .605   5
3. Covington      21-18  .538   6                    3. Winchester  22-17  .564   6.5
4. Harrisonburg  16-23  .410   9.5                 4. Haymarket   15-24  .385  13.5
5. New Market   13-26  .333  14                   5. Woodstock  14-25  .359  14.5
                                                                 6. Front Royal  12-27  .308  16.5

The top three teams in each division have clinched the playoffs. The remaining races include the obvious race for higher seeds, and the race between the last five teams for the last two playoff spots.  Here is how that race looks:

                                  Pct    GB

1. Harrisonburg  16-23  .410
2. Haymarket    15-24  .385   1
3. Woodstock   14-25  .359   2
4. New Market  13-26  .333   3
5. Front Royal   12-27  .308  4

If the season ended last night, Haymarket would play Luray (#1) in the first round, while Harrisonburg would play Waynesboro (#2). The #3-#6 seeds are in turmoil at the moment. Fauquier would be #3, Staunton #4, Winchester #5, and Covington #6. Any of those could change very easily.

This should be a very interesting last week!
