Week 14

A 4-1 week takes us past the midpoint of the regular season. Swept my mini series with the Nats, then took 2 of 3 from the Jays. Poor weeks from Toronto and Baltimore means I've stretched the division lead out to 4.5 games and sit tied for the AL lead with Texas at 53-31, though we both trailing Pittsburgh who is at 54-29. I can take solace in the fact that my +134 run differential and 55.5-28.6 pythagorean record narrowly edge the Bucs. The good: Nobody had an otherworldly week, so I'll give use the space to high Ronald Acuna Jr. who hit 2 more homers this week to bring his total to 18 and raise his season line to .278/.401/.505, good for a 164 wRC+. Between him, Torres (DH - 163 wRC+) and Anthony Rendon (3B - 158 wRC+), I have 3 first-half MVP candidates in the middle of my order. Their other star counterparts Anthony Rizzo (107 wRC+) and Trea Turner (95 wRC+) both started out quite slowly, but hopefully can carry their recent success into the second half. The bad: Jon Gray and J.B. Wendelken imploded this week, allowing 9 runs in 3.2 innings, but surprisingly without allowing a longball. Alex Wood dodged a bullet allowing 4 runs in 6 innings, despite allowing 3 homers. Coming up: 6 game homestand in the last week before the all-star break! 3 vs. CLE, day off, 3 vs. TOR
Weekly Leaderboards are updated: Week-By-Week ChartsBest week: CLE, 6-1, +0.2% World Series Odds (+3.2 wins added to mean win projection). Also Considered: PIT, LAA, TB, MIA Worst week: NYM, 1-5, -0.5% World Series Odds (-2.6 wins subtracted from mean win projection). Also Considered: BAL, PHI, WAS*

These last two weeks have not been kind. They need to pull out of this funk or they won't even be a wild card.

The AL East is getting interesting. I think 2 of the 3 teams make it in. Which one of us gets left out. I know odds for me are not good but I'm hanging in there.
