Oh for sure, and they now get a chance to beat up on each other down the stretch. That said, the races aren't as close this time around as they usually ae in teh NLD.
With only intra-division games remaining, let's take a look at the races:
East - Jeep's the only team over .500 and his six game win streak has opened an 8 game lead over Dale, the only team with a realistic chance of catching him. Looks unlikely that someone will catch him, but he's actually been better out of the division than in so there's hope for Dale. Dale will *have* go something like 9-3 (or better) in the head-to-head matchups starting tonight to have a realistic shot.
Central - Similar to the East. Semper is sitting in the driver's seat up six with only one team with a realistic shot at catching him. Randal *has* been the only team over .500 within the division so it's possible if he keeps that up and does well against Semper he can catch him.
West - Three teams over .500 with one a game under gonna be a brutal battle down the stretch. Stones, the last place team has the best intradivision record (thanks to kicking my butt) so don't count him out from at least making a WC run. toshiro doesn't have a good record in the division, but had a hot streak lately which keeps him in the race. Bot Miller and JTJ have struggled since the ratins were posted (becaust of course they did) Right now you'd expect it to be one of the two top teams, but this one isn't over yet.

clearly JTJ is in the driver's seat, but the way Stones kicks his butt, that could change quickly between the two. If Randal beats up on the Central he could slip in there.
