Is there a correlation between team HR's and 1st place ??

[ramfandan]

In checking team stats today , I noticed something interesting in the team HR column .

According to mlb.com/stats/team ,
These are the rankings of each division leader and their team ranking in HR's

AL
East - Yankees 70 1st in MLB
Cent. Tigers 50 9th
West - Mariners 53 5th

NL
East - Mets 51 7th
Cent. Cubs 59 3rd
West - Dodgers 64 2nd

So 4 of the 6 division leaders are in the Top 5 in HR's ..1st, 2nd, 3rd, & 5th
The other two 1st place teams are : 7th & 9 th Putting all 6 teams in the top 9 in HR's .
