Every division so far is still pretty tightly contested, with the largest disparity between first and second in any one division is the 2.5 game lead the '01 Mariners hold over the '89 Athletics. I think the best division though, top to bottom, is the NL Central. The '16 Cubs continue to hold the best record in the Tournament as the only team still with fewer than 10 losses, but they're only a game and a half up on the '75 Reds, who just swept the '71 Pirates, who are still only a game under .500 despite that, plus you have the '05 Astros with a respectable mark just 3.5 games out.
Speaking of those '71 Pirates, they get a chance to catch their breath after getting swept, but the bad news is that this is their second bye as we see our first set of rematches of the tournament. It's a set of rematches that include a pair of divisional matchups, one of which requires a wraparound weekend series (sorry, Atlanta). The American League is also running rematches this round, but there are no divisional matchups over in the junior circuit.
