With the conclusion of this weekend's games, which you'll see below, we're now 40 percent of the way through the group stage. It's been a bit of a tough slog through this, but it's been worthwhile to get a good picture of the best of the best.
The 1927 Yankees continue to be the team I've got a close eye on with their 25-8 record up to this point, but they're now joined by the 1966 Baltimore Orioles, who sit at an identical record in a different group. We'll see if both can keep up the pace. Elsewhere, we have a group where the 20-13 1972 Oakland Athletics are in first place but have four teams, including our defending Champion of Champions in the 2016 Cubs just a game behind them. There's still a lot of baseball left to go, even after this weekend's slate.
