1973 NL Standings and League Leaders

 May 16, 1973

  Halfway through the month of May finds the New York Mets leading the NL East and the Los Angeles Dodgers leading the West. The Mets lost 6 in a row recently which has allowed the rest of the teams in the division to gain some ground. The Montreal Expos are now only 2 games back and St. Louis is 3 back.
  The Dodgers continue their winning ways in the West, going 9-1 in their last 10. At 26-9, LA has the best record in the NL. The Dodgers' Don Sutton (6-1, 1.19 ERA, 52 K) has been the top starter in the league. SF's Bobby Bonds has hit 15 bombs, most in the NL this season and he's chipped in with 34 RBI, 2nd most in the league.
