## Resource

History says teams in first place by June usually win their division—and this year’s leaders, including the Rays, Guardians, Mariners, Braves, Brewers, and Dodgers, are no exception. Since 1996, 59% of division winners held at least a share of the lead by June 1, and 17 of 29 champs were in first place then. The Dodgers are especially rare—leading their division entering June, a feat only eight teams have pulled off after winning a title. All current leaders have been in this position before, with the Guardians, Mariners, and Brewers all winning last year, the Braves in 2023, and the Rays in 2021. While history favors them, baseball’s unpredictability keeps fans on the edge of their seats. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
