Detroit has a killer rotation and a quality lineup. Some moves will need to be made to shore up some of the weaknesses. I have a good feeling about Philly and their deep lineup + rotation combo. Of course you can't count out Texas, Toronto, or New York. Most Overrated: Seattle Mariners - It was tough to find a team I really thought was overrated. It was a toss up between Seattle and Washington, but Seattle's bullpen takes the cake. It'll be the reason they don't make the playoffs if HB doesn't add one or three. Most Underrated: St. Louis Cardinals - They could use some more depth in the bullpen and on the bench, but the rotation and lineup great. They'll make the playoffs and I don't think they'll have much of a problem either.

Also no surprise are the Phillies, Jays, and Rangers playing up to par. Colorado, however, is benefiting from a weak schedule in April. The big surprise is Detroit's plummet to the bottom third. Most Overrated: So far, Seattle is turning into a good pick for being overrated. For this edition, San Diego gets the nod. They're playing over their heads and with trading Zorros (plus possibly more) the Pads will eventually drop out of contention. Most Underrated: It's an easy one, Detroit. Simply put - no way they're this bad.

While I like the Cubs additions, their bullpen is still lackluster and I question their lack of depth positional. Most Underrated: Detroit Tigers - Slowly, but surely Detroit is making a climb closer to their pre-season billing. Thoughts So Far: AL - In the East, the Rays are finally coming out of obscurity. The Central is full of mediocre. Who will rise? Is the West returning to its former self? NL - The East probably has both the strongest and weakest team in the league. The Central is strong and solid with a surprise from both the Cubs and Cards. No surprises in the West. The Padres toyed with competing, but the gap widened in sim #4.

St. Louis has a few injuries that hurt their chances of playoff contention. The rest is progressing about as projected.

Tampa is eyeing their first playoff appearance since 2017. Yes, 2017! They open up September with 12 of their first 15 games against Boston or New York, so they need to take care of business early before facing Baltimore and Toronto at the end of the month. ALC Outlook: Minnesota has come out of nowhere with a 22-6 August to take the lead. They have a good enough pitching staff and a very good top half of the lineup. A home-and-away series against the Royals should spell one of the two teams from the playoff race by September 18. Detroit should've ran away with the division, now it's a race to 85 wins. They tour the East, before settling in at home for 14 of their last 19 (all against the Central). Unless the ALE knocks them down a peg, I see Detroit taking control of the ALC. The Twins and the Rangers stand in the Royals' path to the playoffs. Not to mention a season final four games at Detroit. It's going to be very tough for them to make it. Especially with a ticking time bomb of a bullpen. ALW Outlook: The Rangers are going to have their hands full in sims 11 and 12. But despite their pedestrian record, they have a pretty complete team. Their load starts to lighten a little around the middle of the month. As long sim 11 doesn't sink them, they should be in good position to win the West. Injuries to Fix and D-Will has probably done the Angels in. Their lineup is average and even with a few other good pitchers, it's just not enough. The Astros have the pitching to hang around, but their lineup is an eye sore. NLE Outlook: The Mets and Phillies pretty much assured their playoff spot, it's just a question of who wins homefield advantage. It's feast or famine for the Nationals opponents. They face division leaders (or Philly) in 14 of their September games and 13 games against sub-.401 clubs. They're in a prime position to take a wildcard spot, but need to take care of business against the weak teams and at least tread water against the stout opponents. NLC Outlook: The Reds have a solid, above average team, nothing more. However, that should be enough to win the Central. They'll really be riding the arm of Peter Smith for any playoff success. While I like the moves the Cubs have made to try to contend, I think they fall just short. Their pitching staff is solid, but their lineup is nothing to be overly concerned about. However, whoever made up the schedule was brilliant. The Cubs will face off against San Diego at the end of sim 12 and have a home-and-away series against the Reds in sim 13. Despite a great run in August, the Cardinals are probably in too deep of a hole and too many teams to leapfrog to make the playoffs. Though if they defy the odds, look out. 10 of their last 13 are against the Giants, Brewers, and Pirates. NLW Outlook: Like Baltimore and Toronto, unless the Rockies forget how to play baseball, the division is theirs. San Diego has kept up with a pretty solid season, but there's likely just too much ground to be covered in one month.

Detroit finally looks to be clicking the past two months and is certainly the better team on paper. Detroit wins New York Mets @ Philadelphia Phillies - NL East Title Game The Mets are riding a hot wave, but it comes against possibly the two worst teams in baseball at the moment. Philly owns the regular season title among the two, 11-9. The triple crown winner and co. might be too much for the Mets. Philly wins Kansas City Royals @ Baltimore Orioles - AL Wildcard Game The Royals surprised many to make it this far, but the joy ride ends here. Baltimore wins Washington Nationals @ New York Mets - NL Wildcard Game New York could opt to pitch Matt Belovsky on short rest, but the rookie Brian Levitt looks like the better bet. Washington will likely toss out one of their lefties, giving the Mets fits. It'll be a close game. New York wins Baltimore Orioles @ Toronto Blue Jays - AL Division Series This matchup is probably best suited for the ALCS. Two good rotations against two good lineups. Good thing for Baltimore that Vogel is no longer Vogel (and hurt as well). Bad thing for Baltimore that their bullpen is on pins and needles. Toronto in five Detroit Tigers @ Texas Rangers - AL Division Series This is another very evenly matched series. Both teams have some good pitchers and good hitters, but both have some depth issues. Detroit in four New York Mets @ Philadelphia Phillies - NL Division Series Having to play a tiebraker plus a wildcard game will be tough on the Mets. But No Duguay helps the Mets. Audley helps the Phillies more. Philly in four Cincinnati Reds @ Colorado Rockies - NL Division Series Home runs and more home runs for this series. Cincinnati has Peter Smith, but the Rockies have a deeper lineup. Colorado in five Detroit Tigers @ Toronto Blue Jays - AL Championship Series Detroit pales in comparison to Toronto, but I think Detroit gives them more fits than necessary. Toronto in six Colorado Rockies @ Philadelphia Phillies - NL Championship Series Same story as the AL Championship, different way of getting there. Philly in four Toronto Blue Jays vs Philadelphia Phillies - World Series The top in AL vs the top in the NL. Vilareda vs Kamp. Audley vs Anketell. Repeat of '93? Toronto in six
