Ben Verlander and Alex Curry give their '1 Up, 1 Down' for the week and it is a NL West heavy segment! Alex has the Los Angeles Dodgers trending up after they take the top spot in the division, while she has the San Diego Padres trending down after they continue to struggle after the All-Star break. Ben has Blake Snell trending up as he continues to be arguably the best pitcher in the National League and he has Chicago White Sox Tim Anderson trending down. Ben gives his 'Honesty Hour' on how the players need to go back to wearing their team's jerseys in the All-Star Game, and we introduce a new segment called 'Would You Rather' where Ben has to blindly pick either Player A or Player B based solely off their career stats and awards.
