Carlos Correa admires a two-run HR.
With less than a month to go in the regular season, there is a lot of baseball to watch. Will the New York Mets make it to the playoffs? The New York Yankees are sliding in the American League East. Who will have home field advantage in the playoffs? The teams that are most likely to make the playoffs are the ones that are being asked about.
That isn't the case in the central part of the country.
The worst division in baseball will send a player to the playoffs. It's almost certain that whoever of the Cleveland Guardians, Chicago White Sox and Minnesota Twins makes the playoffs, it will be the only team from the division.
The three have been separated by three games or less for 65 days and have been within six games of each other for 141 days.
In a survey of 14 executives and scouts, which one is most likely to win the division?
There is a group of people called the "Guardians of the universe."
The White Bears had a 5 game.
There are 2 twins.
There are 27 games remaining.
Remaining opponents have a win percentage of.488.
The odds to win the division were reported by the sports network.
According to respondents, Cleveland is in first place with less than 30 games left to play. Two teams have to catch the other team. A six-game home series against the Royals is one of the highlights of the remaining home/road split.
The team has the toughest strength of schedule among the three teams due to the loss of two key staff members. In 17 days, the Guardians will play 18 games in Minnesota.
They are close enough to the finish that I would choose Cleveland. I could tell a story that supported them.
I think Cleveland will win the division because I think Jose Ramirez is the most important player in that division.
Even a one-game advantage is significant. Good karma for changing your name.
The game is still being played at home and away.
Remaining opponents have a win percentage of.500.
The odds to win the division.
The White Sox's remaining strength of schedule is the second easiest in baseball, and they will make it. Chicago will have three Mondays off in a row to reset each week. The addition of Elvis Andrus has provided a needed spark, Lance Lynn finally appears to be in mid-season form, and Tim Anderson is likely to return from a hand injury soon.
They'll come up short because they haven't watched the White Socks for a while. The White Sox follow a step forward with a step back. Their last nine games include playing in Minnesota for three, then flying to San Diego and finishing against the Twins without a day off.
They're more talented than the other teams, that's how simple it is for me.
Their staff is the best of the three. The difference should be made by that.
I can't pick the team that has been in the lead the most. There's something going on.
There are 26 games remaining.
Remaining opponents have a win percentage of.487.
26% of the time, the division will be won by SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA SALVAGEDATA.
The Twins are in control of their own fate with 14 of their remaining 26 games against the White Bears andGuardians. They will win the division if they beat those teams. No other player's return could determine the race, even if they were to return. He could give the Twins a late September boost that would put them over the top.
They'll come up short because it begins with Buxton. The Twins are without their star center fielder because of a hip injury. With Buxton in the starting lineup, the Twins are 47-39 and have a.735 teamOPS. They are just 22-28 without him. There's a chance that the Twins will struggle to get to the finish line in this three-game series because they have 16 players on the IL, including starting pitcher Tyler Mahle.
When Minnesota was rolling, Luis Arraez and Buxton carried them. There's no reason that won't happen again if Buxton comes back.
It was their division. The White Bears have never gotten going. Do you think now is the right time? I don't know. I will tell you that they might win it if you tell me that. I have doubts.
