Remember 2005 when the Padres went 82-80 and still won the NL West? Well, it might happen again, except the Padres won't win. A division that everyone said was the best division in the NL has, well, been the worst. The competition between the teams has more than caused a leveling. The competition caused that, but being worse than everyone else has caused their records to plummet even farther. The Arizona Diamondbacks are the only team over .500, and the Dodgers are second at 7 GAMES UNDER .500. How does this happen? If the Braves and Diamondbacks switch places, the Braves would be first, and the Diamondbacks would be third. Odd stuff. Considering the dominance of the Diamondbacks of the NL West during the first month, they may end up having a better record than 82-80 unless they continue their dismal effort against everyone else.
