The Angels were 9-9 for a moment this week with Mike Trout leading the way.  Could they possibly make the playoffs? Then they proceeded to lose 3 straight.  Same old.  AL West is a dogfight even with the Astros still mired in last place.

The Twins have been having trouble scoring. They could use a good week coming up as the Guardians are sailing even without Shane Bieber and can that last?  Royals hanging tough but the Tigers are treading water.  Yankees without Gerritt Cole are neck and neck with the Orioles in a tight division that has all 5 teams over .500.  32-year old Cam Booser (pictured) made his MLB debut for the Red Sox and it's quite a story. 

The Mets have won a lot lately but have gained no ground on the Braves and Phillies who've been equally as good.  The Nationals are better than the Marlins which we did not expect. Brewers and Cubs at the top of the NL Central and this could get interesting. Pirates sliding back a bit and the Reds have steadied and are poised. The Cardinals are bumping along but are not far behind. 

Is there anything wrong with the Dodgers?  Watching the top three hitters Betts, Ohtani, and. Freeman is a treat. Even Will Smith is a force. But the rest of the lineup has been bad to awful. The Diamondbacks, Padres, and Giants are all close in talent as well as the standings. The Rockies are happy the Marlins play in the NL since some of the negative attention is deflected to Miami.
