1982 NL Standings and League Leaders

August 16, 1982

  It's the middle of August in the 1982 MLB season. The St. Louis Cardinals have shown they are the top team in the NL. They hold a comfortable lead in the NL East over the Pittsburgh Pirates and Montreal Expos, two teams playing so well that they would be in 1st place in the NL West. The Cardinals have played as a complete team. You won't see any individuals in the NL League Leaders, with the notable exception of closer Bruce Sutter (22 Saves). The Cardinals have a NL best Runs/Agnst Differential of +155 showing the outstanding team balance.
  In the NL West the San Diego Padres have been clinging to 1st place for most of the season. The Padres have played just well enough to hold off the Houston Astros and San Francisco Giants.
