Dissecting the NL West



The Arizona Diamondbacks will hit the 100-game mark midway through the series with the New York Mets this weekend. If you put it all into perspective, the Diamondbacks have 49 wins, just nine less than the New York Yankees, the team with the best won-loss percentage (.598) in the majors. Of course, the Diamondbacks are concerned with the NL West at the moment and they have to hurdle both the San Francisco Giants and the LA Dodgers, who sit atop the league -- the Giants with 55 wins, the Dodgers with 53. The Diamondbacks are second in runs scored in the NL West with 441, believe it or not, the Colorado Rockies, the cellar-dweller, are the top run producer with 458. The Rockies, on the other hand, lead the majors with 543 runs allowed. As far as home runs go, the Diamondbacks have hit exactly 100 homers, and here again, the Rockies are first in the NL West with 111. And to keep that into perspective, the New Yankees lead the majors in round-trippers with 152.
