Coming into this round, two teams have at least hit their halfway points in games played in the 2010 Giants and 2001 Mariners, only because neither of them have had their byes yet. Everyone else has had at least one as far as I can tell, but with this too everyone has played at least 40 games out of their 92 on the way to the Elimination Round. That will come in July.
We had the worst of my scheduling quirks come to an end during this round, as the 1995 Braves finally ended a string of 34 games in 34 days without an off day. They get one on this Monday. They went 15-19 in that stretch, but they're still in second place in their division, so it didn't hurt them a ton, and their schedule is much more forgiving the rest of the way in terms of off days.
Speaking of the schedule, this round is a little weird in the National League thanks to those three wraparound series over the weekend. The problem is, two of them are followed by divisional matchups, which requires a pair of doubleheaders, plus a third one over in the American League that I couldn't avoid. In total there are six divisional matchups this round.
