Who Has the Best Schedule?

"Based on the winning percentages of their opponents, the Marlins have a slightly easier remaining schedule than the Mets or Phillies. Collectively, the Marlins' remaining opponents have a .480 winning percentage, compared to .490 for the Mets and .493 for the Phillies....

"The Mets and Phillies each must face the Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers, the teams with the two best records in the NL. The Marlins have games remaining against the St. Louis Cardinals and Houston Astros (third and fourth, respectively, in the Central) and one makeup with the Cincinnati Reds (sixth).

"All three teams play about the same number of home and away games.

"Of the seven different opponents left on their schedule, the Marlins have winning records against just two, the Washington Nationals and Phillies, this season." (MiamiHerald)
