The National League leading Washington Nationals and yes the Nats behind a pair of 2012 All-Stars in Right-Hand Ace Stephen Strasburg and Left-Hand Ace Gio Gonzalez lead the Senior Circuit and jump in the Potomac River on that one. The San Francisco Giants have run up on the Boys in  Blue from Chavez Ravine like the Dodgers stole something and now the Gigantes lead the NL West. The Red Legs are atop the NL Central behind NL All-Star Leading Vote-Getter Joey Votto. With all that being said the Amazins', Buccos, and Dodgers are in a good spot lurking for 1st place in their respective Divisions.
