    A look back at some of the MLB's early season trends

    A look back at some of the MLB's early season trends

    About 20 games into this baseball season, I took a look at six teams who were either severely outperforming or underperforming on their expectations for the year and decided whether those trends were likely to continue. 40 games into the future and with a much clearer view of how the MLB is shaking out, let’s revisit those teams and see how they’ve since played, as well as once again predict whether they can sustain their current level (or even improve upon it). Boston Red So
    Looking at early season MLB performances

    Looking at early season MLB performances

    Are the Red Sox currently suffering from a World Series hangover? Many in the media would lead you to believe so, as would Boston’s 7-13 record (good for last in the AL East). And while they don't have much of a bullpen, they bring nearly an identical copy of last year’s champions into the 2019 season, showing this slow start is probably nothing more than precisely that. Boston is not the only team to surprise, however, in the early going, so let’s take a look at which teams
    The Last month of the MLB season

    The Last month of the MLB season

    As of today, there is exactly one month left in the MLB season. As teams enter the stretch run, those in playoff position look to maintain their leads while those on the outside try to make one more push for the Postseason. Let’s take a look at each team with a shot to make the Postseason, starting with the American League. Boston Red Sox They are not only the best team by far this season, they may be one of the best of all time. Though the Sox are no longer on pace to match

    The MLB Divisional Frontrunners

    Now that the Trade Deadline has come and gone, we can safely assume that most trades have been made. With that in mind, here’s a quick post on who the division favorites are as we come down the home stretch in the MLB season. AL East The Red Sox answered all questions with their four game sweep of the division rival Yankees earlier this month, as they are now on pace to have a shot at the 2001 Mariners’ single-season wins record (116). AL Central Hmm, let me think here….any o

    A post right before the MLB Trade Deadline

    The MLB Trade Deadline is a mere four days away and the trades have already been rolling in. These avid acquisitions were kicked off when two days after the All Star Game the Dodgers won the Manny Machado sweepstakes and they have not stopped since. I don’t want to box myself in on this post so I’m just going to visit each contender and see what they’ve done/where they stand/what they should do/etc. (warning: use of the word “contender” is subjective) Boston Red Sox The Red S
