How good is Ben Chase? Sergio Robles is having a monster year as well and RJ Stanton seems to be unaffected by the precipitous drop in strikeouts... Every “Tarpon” on this list is a “former”.
Detroit has been sputtering lately but our run of 4-6 and 7-3 10 game stretches will not allow us to catch up. Ohio appears to be pulling away in the Central.
This is the first time in what seems like a decade Las Vegas is not in 1st place. Alaska making a case for the #1 seed in the power rankings. The wildcard is my only legitimate shot and that's a long shot given the up and down season. I think that 2nd spot comes down to Chicago and Minnesota but I'd love to make it interesting.
Honestly, the NL East's biggest surprise to me is Buffalo. That's a hell of a season for a 1st-year team. I like the 4 team NL Wild Card race.
A quick peek at all the trades leading into the deadline. 2 of significance for me. The Austin, St Louis deal sent the top overall pick in this year's draft to St Louis and the last deal was huge. Dan Goodman is an MVP player. Sakai is the games #6 P prospect.
