Best Answer

No. You subtract the number of losses behind.

Through games played on July 22, 2009 the Cardinals record is 51-46 and the Cubs record is 48-45.

To determine the number of games behind ...

51 - 48 = 3

46 - 45 = 1

3 - 1 = 2

2 / 2 = 1

The Cubs are 1 game behind the Cardinals. ---- Another way of looking at it is this: 1) How many more wins do the Cardinals have ... answer (51 - 48) = 3. 2) How many more losses to the Cubs have ... answer (45 - 46) = -1. 3) (3 + (-1)) / 2 = 1 ... The Cubs are 1 game behind.
