After waiting patiently for four blocks, Central Division clubs got their first crack at the soft underbelly of the Pacific Division in Block 5. Goldenrod and St. Louis charged up the power rankings thanks to a schedule heavy on games against No. 15 Columbus, No. 19 California and No. 20 Miami. That trio of teams has combined to win 40 percent of its games to this point.
For the sake of comparison, the bottom three teams in the other three divisions have put up a much stronger fight. To wit, those cellar-dwelling win percentages are Northeast (.493), Central (.464) and Atlantic (.457).

Divisional Races
Barring epic collapses, Northeast (22 games ahead of West Side) and Wilmington (11 games ahead of Mohawk Valley) have the Northeast and Atlantic divisions, respectively, locked down as they enter the sixth and final block.
That's not the case in the MMDA's other two divisions, where St. Louis trails Goldenrod by two games in the Central, and Northwest trails Spokane by four games in the Pacific.
