Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed May 1, 2013 8:13 pm

According to ESPN Stats & Info, there have been 102 division champions since 1996 and 51% (53 clubs) were in first place on May 1.


Last season, only the Washington Nationals were leading on May 1 and went on to win their division.


In fact, since 2009 only eight of 24 eventual division winners were leading on May 1.
