The Yankees enter the second half with the second best winning percentage in baseball. The only problem for them, though, is the team with the best winning percentage is in their same division. Despite being 4.5 games out of first, the Yankees could find themselves in one of the greatest divisional shootouts in history. Heading […]

The Nationals enter the final series before the All-Star break at 46-46 — not exactly what they had envisioned before the season began. They at least have that in common with the Mets. But the similarities do not go much further. Washington is still within striking distance of a playoff spot, and they have already […]

The Phillies recently caught the Braves atop the NL East standings, and the two clubs are currently tied five games up on the Nationals. The Phillies have received key production from underrated players, several of which are mentioned below. The bullpen has also played a key factor in Philadelphia’s success, which is a theme of […]

It is a new month, and I am happy note that on their current July pace, the Mets would have their best month in franchise history. In reality, though, July almost has to be better than June. The team will start off their first full series of the month against a team that just lost […]

But what if I told you that […]

Is that some life we saw yesterday in this Mets team that seemed dead for much of the last month? Two games is not really enough to get excited about, but it was nice to see some fight in the bats. Now New York continues its trip out west with a four-game set in Colorado. […]

The Diamondbacks seem to be a team that is consistently undercovered and underrated. Paul Goldschmidt, who could be seen as the case in point as one of the most underrated players in baseball throughout his career, graces this edition of the stats preview, as is another undervalued Diamondback infielder. Descalso on the DL: Daniel Descalso has […]

The Mets salvaged the Subway Series Sunday night, but their season is still on a downward trajectory. Adrian Gonzalez has finally been purged from the roster, so perhaps Dominic Smith will provide a spark. The team travels down to Atlanta to face a Braves team treading water tied atop the NL East. The Braves lost […]
