Here's a few mentioned on r/baseball

Justin Turner has an OBP of .473. The first to do so in the first half since Barry Bonds w/ a minimum of 250 PA's.

Houston has six players batting over .300

Elvis Andrus is the first player since 2013 (Mike Trout) to have at least 10 HR, 50 RBI, 20 SB and a BA above .300 through 82 games played.

Both Justin Turner and Elvis Andrus were not initial All-Star selections.

Milwaukee Brewer, who are still rebuilding, leading Central Division in NL.

They were my lock for Over on Win totals. They have one of top farm systems in ML, and is graduating players. They could be really good in 2 years.

I feel like Texas is going to really regret trading Lewis Brinson.

They would lose Braun among others due to not paying...

I'm watching Rangers, Nationals, Marlins, Yankees, Red Sox, Twins, Mariners, Cubs, Reds, Brewers, Diamondbacks, and Dodgers this season...

I look to see when Beltre is batting, when the Nationals are late in games, etc...

All good answers... a few additions...

Eric Thames' reemergence, even if he has slowed down some.
Bryce Harper throwing his batting helmet to Joe Panik.
The abuse of the 10-day DL.
Ryan Zimmerman coming back from the dead.
WTFCubs?

I love when the Nats blow a late game lead just to see their reaction. Bryce Harper wants to kill everybody in that bullpen.
