MLB thoughts after the first month the season

Post them here.
The Cubs look, comfortably, like the best team in baseball. The Mets look good. The Nats look good but haven't played anyone. The CWS look surprisingly really good.
There are some awesome young pitchers in the league right now. Last year was the coming out party for the young sluggers - I think this year is all about the 22/23 year old pitchers.
The Yankees all of a sudden look old and bad. I'm really surprised as I pegged them for a WC birth, though I'm not ruling them out completely just yet.
Noah Syndergaard is ridiculous.

Eric O'Flaherty is not a good pitcher.

Yankees can't pitch or hit... Bird going down was bad.... Didi isn't hitting at all, Castro slowed down after a hot start.
Team won't win this year

Giants will heat up and destroy the NL (and the few AL Teams we play)

Nats are good, but are going to get better once Revere gets healthy and they finally call up Trea Turner.
Philly's turnaround has very impressive.
The NL wildcard race is gonna be awesome to watch down the stretch.

Astros are the worst team in the MLB and will continue to do so.

That's my dude right there.
And Giolito, although who does he replace? Everyone in the rotation is dealing.

tRoyals goin back-to-back
Posted on 5/1/16 at 6:15 pm to Broseph Barksdale
With how Roarke is playing, I think they ought to call up Giolito as a reliever and then ease him into starting next year. It would good be a good way of managing his innings and keeping him in line for postseason opportunities.

Speaking of prospects, look out for Glasnow, Taillion, and Reyes later this year.

I like that, especially if and when Treinen comes unglued one game too many late in a pennant chase (odds of this happening - 80%)

The Twins are still playing Grapefruit...

Chris Sale has been amazing. Love watching him pitch.
The Nats are about where you want to be with the schedule we have played (but I expected to sweep the Phillies, and get swept by the Cards though). Need the offense to heat up.
Braves are showing a lot more fight than I thought they would.
Cubs look comfortable with their expectations.

Unfortunately I do think the giants will control the NL in October

One month is way too early but...
Nats/Mets
Cubs/Pirates
Dodgers/Giants
Wouldn't shock me to see STL be STL but those 6 teams look to be the playoff picture for NL. Honestly that's pretty much what most post season predictions were.
AL is a little tougher to project IMO. Both sox, Texas, Detroit, Seattle, and Baltimore all off to great starts but I'd bet 2 or 3 of those teams will fade a little as the season goes while some teams with slow starts like Toronto/KC (they've been avg)/Houston could jump into the discussion when we have our all star break predictions
Astros bias here but very intrigued to see how the AL West will play out. Everyone beat up on each other or will Texas run away with it while staying healthy and getting Yu back?

I am going to enjoy this season as much as possible. This Cubs team is special. Also excited to see how the NL West shakes out

You misspelled Braves

Mariners can get the bats going they will have a good shot at the West. Felix may have the best King Felix has pitched well but has had zero run support. Believe he had a one hitter loss game one. Taijuan Walker has been lights out. Got his first loss today with only two runs given up. Against a Royals team trying to avoid a sweep.
