A total of 18 of the 30 major-league clubs were within 6½ games of a playoff spot when the weekend began.So, while it's understandable that Pirates' fans think the economic deck is stacked against their favorite team, the truth is there is as much parity in the majors now as there has ever been. While the Pirates have not figured out how to take advantage, increased revenue sharing and a luxury tax have helped competitive balance.
Even the Los Angeles Dodgers still have hopes of making the playoffs.
So what happened? What does it mean to not "take advantage" of the greater parity?
