NL Standings  

Miami is now five back in the race for the second wildcard.

The East, after leading the NL in run differential for most of the year, has now also taken over the lead in winning percentage. The differences are made more stark when focusing on games outside a team's own division:

Run differentials by team are below. The Nationals have a big lead, but the East would have the best differential even if the top team in each division is excluded:

2015 Draft Pick

10th if the season ended today (9th worst record, plus Houston's #2 comp. pick for Aiken).
10th based on FanGraphs' projected end-of-season standings (9th by record, plus comp. pick)

Note that with a recent rules change, the teams with the 10 worst records will have their first round picks protected, regardless of how many compensation picks might be inserted before them. For 2015, that means the first 11 picks will be protected.

Progression of key hitting stats:

Hitting with runners in scoring position has now surpassed the overall average, but otherwise the hitting stats have dipped over the past week. Runs per game actually crested over the league average for a day or two recently:

Phillies Pitchers

The tables below list each starter's game, with this simple color coding we've used in the past:

Green: quality start (6+ IP, 3 ER or less)
Red: "bad" start (at least one ER per IP)
Yellow: all others

Game scores are at the right for each game, with those over 60 highlighted.

Burnett: very streaky, with periods of very good games alternating with not so good periods

Lee: dominant early in the year before his elbow problems

Hamels: consistently very good throughout.

Pit_medium

Kendrick: fell apart after a decent first two months

Hernandez: came on strong after not being able to last 6 innings early on

Buchanan: not bad at all, with 5 straight QS's at one point, and now 7 in his last 9 games
