While the New York Yankees have risen to the head of the class in the American League, the National League still is in search of a definitive World Series favorite
The Yankees are a beast with a top starting pitching staff, a mind-boggling homer-to-strikeout ratio and a clutch gear that never has them out of games in the late innings. Now comes the task of maintaining that form into October.
Aaron Judge has been a nightmare for opposing pitchers to put a charge in one of baseball’s best offenses that leads MLB in home runs with 133 . The pitching has been just as impressive with an MLB-best 2.90 ERA. The Minnesota Twins have been atop the AL Central for most of the first half, but they have proven to be no match for the Cleveland Guardians in head-to-head matchups. The Chicago White Sox have been a disappointment, with another three months left to reach their potential. Teams with less disappointing starts to the season than the White Sox already have fired their manager.
Instead, it has been the New York Mets , that have risen to the top of the NL East despite a pitching staff that has not had Jacob deGrom and just got Max Scherzer back after two months away. They become top midseason reinforcements for a first-place club that will need them to hold off the Braves, who went 24-7 from June 1-July 4.
