Here is an updated version of the season standings chart. New additions include the proper scale for a full season and 20-game increments on the Y-axis. The gray lines along the x-axis indicate the first of each month.

This is current as of this moment - it includes today's Indians game but nothing else (as no-one else in the Central has played yet today).

I am open to suggestions on improvement and/or additional features y'all would like to see.

Technical aspect suggestion: Use PNG files, and try to avoid the yellow.

Ben Francisco: An Outfielder only on baseball cards and roster sheets.

Yes, make the Royals’ line purple! Because I said so!

or at least bright blue, which ought to be sufficiently different from Minnesota’s navy not to cause confusion…

Gah, this isn’t PNG? My bad.

I think the Y axis is a bit too large. As Jay pointed out, hardly ever is anyone more than 20 games to either side of .500 — maybe change the range to ±25 or so…

That’s what I meant to request before. Almost all teams end up somewhere between +20 and ~~20. If you want three even thresholds, seven~~ or eight-game increments would work fine.

Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
