Losers So Far This Season --
The New York Mets (23-33) have had a ton of trouble this season getting anything clicking. From a roster standpoint, this is a clubhouse that should be in contention to win this division and compete for a chance to bring home the Commissioner's Trophy. But, things haven't gone to plan whatsoever. Will there be some change? We think so. But, if things keep going the way they have been, this could be another disappointing year for fans from Queens.
In the American League, the Detroit Tigers (22-35) have been even worse than the Mets. At the time of Tarik Skubal's (2025 Cy Young Winner) injury, the Tigers were tied for the lead in the AL Central at 18-17. Since then, they've gone 4-18 en route to the worst record in the AL. Just like NYM, Detroit has players that you'd expect to produce much more than they have been. But, the Tigers just aren't getting results. Many people believe that this team is going to be a 'Seller' as we get closer to the Trade Deadline.
On The Rise --
Currently holding a winning record this season, the Washington Nationals (29-28) have surprised everyone with their ability to score. In fact, they lead the league in runs a game at the moment and that's led to their early-season success. The pitching hasn't been incredible. But, the name of the game is scoring runs and the Nationals have sure been able to do that so far this year. CJ Abrams is having himself a season with 12 HR's and 47 RBI's in 56 games so far.
Who would've thought that the Chicago White Sox (29-27) would be in a contending position just over 50 games played in the season. The 'Southsiders' came up with an absolute bargain when they signed Japanese phenom Munetaka Murakami to a 2-year 34 million dollar contract this season. No, he's not going to hit .300 for you. But, what he does have is power. Currently tied for the most HR's by anyone in the American League with Yordan Alvarez, he's hit 20 bombs so far this season. The pitching is much improved as well. Quite shocking from a 60 win team from last year.
World Series Contenders --
Los Angeles Dodgers (36-20) -- The clear favorite to win at +200 right now. That's a pretty good price to be taking considering that the Dodgers won last year and keep getting better as a team.
New York Yankees (34-22) -- Always near the top of the contenders list ~ hasn't found a way to get it done lately. The Yankees have elite pitching this season that could carry them to the promise land.
Atlanta Braves (38-19) -- Currently has the best record in the MLB with some really good hitters. The 2021 World Series champs are hungry for more success this time around.
