Fangraphs is projecting 78 wins for the Reds this season just like Draftkings, and I’m not seeing the math.

Will the stars align for Chicago?

We already covered Shohei’s financial value in the previous article, but I will reiterate: I firmly see Ohtani as a #1 starter.

The Texas Rangers have captured everyone’s attention after a few notable acquisitions only days away from the deadline. We all know their offense is leading the American League by wRC+ at 120, but there were some holes on the pitching side prior to the deadline.

At present, the St. Louis Cardinals payroll sits at $183M, five million below the MLB average. Fangraphs projects their playoff chances at slightly over 5% a week before the deadline, which is low enough for Cards brass to acknowledge plans to move some of their better players.
