Low Ceiling

Lowest winning percentages to lead an entire league in winning percentage over a full season, MLB history:
1983 Dodgers and 1974 Orioles: .562 (91 wins, 162-game season)
1959 Dodgers .564 (88 wins, 156-game season)
1967 Red Sox and 1982 Cardinals .568 (92 wins, 162-game season)

Through last night's games, the top winning percentages in the NL this season are the D-Backs at .559 and the Mets and Padres at .553. Somebody has to pick up the pace if the 2007 NL is going to avoid having the lowest winning percentage ever to lead a league.
