I saw this today on mlb. I’ll link the article below it. I just can’t wait to see who ends up making it. Could this be the year for the Mariners? Will it be the Braves who might just end up being the first club ever to slug .500 as a team (think about that) or perhaps a team that’s about to make an epic run heck who knows I just can’t wait to see

The slugging percentage would be great but in all fairness up until last season for everyone else not in the AL from 1973-1996 pitchers dragged down team slugging percentage.
Here’s the latest
Houston, Atlanta and LA are normal to see leading a division, Baltimore just looks weird though lol and Miami in a playoff position should scare the other teams, the 2 times the Marlins have made the playoffs it was as a wild card team, they won the world series both times.
Miami made it a 3rd time in 2020, lost in the DS round.
I kinda think that it's the Phillies that are being looked at apprehensively,because of last year.( though the braves and fans are probably both dreading and very excited for it)Yes those Phillies sure look like a playoff team to me. Definitely going to be a top contender with that incredible pitching staff and so much talent. I just cannot wait to see how it all pans out

Cubs have been about 6 games back in the NLC for about a week; not much on their tails as you say.

Wildcard they are right there though. So yes when it comes to Marlins they are, the Brewers all but have that division though.

Also wrote that 3 days ago, loses in 6 of there last 7 games have all but sunk the Cubs playoff hopes. Seriously the worst time to go into a slump.

I’m just worried sick the Cubbies are going to mess around and blow it. With my team out of it I decided I’m going to pull for them and the mariners in the post season but really just can’t wait to see…heck last I checked there was the potential for at least one of the wc slots to come down to a single game playoff and possibly even two. Hmmm I should check this again a lot can change (and HAS!) in a week.
Man I wish The Show was this fun to think and talk about once again I just hate how things are going I’ve only played a few hours of conquest since S4 I’m sad to report

@BxnnyMxn__PSN - once the season is over, let’s do a pool. @Blind_Bleeder, @TEXAS10PT_PSN , @arvcpa_PSN, @Oreo-Thomas_XBL and anyone else should join

A pool...hmmm...sounds fun.
I'm rooting against teams rather than for them. So far, I want the Rangers and Braves to go 0-3 and out...but with my luck, that's probably who we'll see in the WS.
We should begin the pool after WC play.

Well it's shaping up to be a braves vs Phillies DS rematch, so you might get the braves part.as for the rangers who can say where they'll be- win the division and they get the MIN vs WC3 winner or if they get WC2 it's Tampa then Baltimore,and HOU is lurking in there eventually so it kinda doesn't look good for them either

I’m game for a pool so long as I don’t have to pick any from the AL I’m clueless as to how that’s gonna play out but I can’t wait to see

I’m reviving this 4 day old message. There are way more expansion teams on the chart. Just not from most of our lifetimes. The entire AL is full of them except for Baltimore.
