Cleveland is fools gold at 24-14; trotting out 4 or more dudes batting sub .200

Phillies looks legit as do the Braves

The Dodgers with that lineup are insane.

AL has several teams who can get to the WS.

Philly is legit, but their schedule has also been cake easy. They've taken advantage of it.

Braves haven't played a complete game yet either. Desperate to get the bats rolling again.

The Braves’ pitching has been very good despite losing Strider and they are in first place without their big hitters doing well.

I know Acuna, Riley, and Olson will end up hitting when the weather warms and as soon as that begins to happen Atlanta will put some distance in the rest of the NL.

But yes, the Phils look good as well.

Corey Seager is starting to find his groove.

After an offseason focusing on reducing strikeouts, the Mariners are on pace for over 1700 strikeouts which would be a new MLB record...

Not trying to be a dick or anything, but I feel this statement is obviously true every single year at this point about both leagues.

My thought is how did America’s Pastime- and my favorite sport- become invisible??
It’s nearly impossible to catch a game without paying for the MLB package.
(Note I have YouTube TV and they cut MLBN)

Braves have played the 5th hardest schedule so far.

Phillies have played the 29th hardest (i.e. the 2nd easiest) schedule so far.

Yankees looking good. Have a few good bullpen pieces coming back, Judge is starting to find his grove, hopefully DJ can produce and they get Cole back.

Rangers have an entire starting pitching rotation currently out with injuries plus Jung and Langford out until June.

Still in 1st in a mediocre division. If they can tread water until AS break a second half rotation of DeGrom, Scherzer, Eovaldi, Dunning, Bradford and Gray plus a healthy lineup and they will be in business.

But right now they are a mash unit.

Well at least their starting staff and bullpen is legit. Not all bad at least.

The Yankees have the best bullpen in baseball. They have an eye-popping 2.27 ERA so far. The starting pitching has been an extremely pleasant surprise all season. Juan Soto has been the perfect fit for New York and they look like they are about to take off. Getting Cole back healthy is going to push this team to the top and keep them there.

Torres is the odd man out, he just can't hit. I think DJ will replace him at 2nd base when he returns soon.
