The NLCS MVP odds currently show a one-man race, but that could change if the Los Angeles Dodgers repeat their comeback from last year against the Atlanta Braves. Eddie Rosario had four hits, including two home runs, in Atlanta’s 9-2 victory over Los Angeles in Wednesday’s Game 4. Rosario proves […]
Last year, the Los Angeles Dodgers had to come back from a 3-1 deficit in the NLCS to overcome the Atlanta Braves on their way to winning a World Series title. Both teams are eager to improve on that performance as they hook up again for the 2021 NLCS. The […]
The Los Angeles Dodgers won their final seven games of the regular season, but still came up one game short in their effort to chase down the San Francisco Giants for the NL West lead. That means the defending World Series champions will instead host the NL Wild-Card game, needing […]
Five teams are still contending for two AL wild-card berths with less than a week remaining in the regular season. But the last few days have brought a small amount of clarity, making it seem more like three teams are battling for one spot in the playoffs. The New York […]
2021 has been the year of Shohei Ohtani. The two-way star has accomplished things on the mound and at the plate that no player has approached since Babe Ruth more than 100 years ago. Yet there’s still at least a touch of drama in the AL MVP race as Vladimir […]
Gerrit Cole and Robbie Ray have emerged as the two clear favorites to win the AL Cy Young Award this year. But both aces struggled in their last starts, potentially opening the door for a dark horse to join the race down the stretch. Ray went just 4.2 innings for […]
Bryce Harper and Fernando Tatis Jr. are currently focused on the National League playoff race, as both the Phillies and the Padres are still in contention for a wild card spot, while the Phillies could also win the NL East. But the two superstars are also engaged in their own […]
The San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers have both clinched playoff spots. Barring a complete collapse, each will easily win more than 100 games in the regular season. Yet, only one team can win the NL West, while the other faces a dangerous one-game, wild-card playoff if it wants […]
The New York Yankees appeared headed to another devastating loss on Monday when they fell behind 5-0 early to the Minnesota Twins. But an Aaron Judge homer in the eighth inning tied the game, and Gary Sanchez knocked in the winning run in the 10th for a 6-5 victory that […]
For the entirety of the 2021 season, conventional wisdom has held that only one NL East team could make the playoffs, with nobody outside the eventual division winner holding any hope of grabbing a wild-card spot. But, as the stretch run comes into focus, the cream of the division’s crop […]
Earlier this summer, the New York Yankees were struggling to string wins together, and it remained an open question as to whether the loaded roster would even make it to the postseason. But the team has put together a run of 11 straight wins to take command of the American […]
When the San Francisco Giants jumped out to a fast start and never looked back, conventional wisdom dictated that three NL West teams would make the playoffs: the winner of the battle between the Giants and the Dodgers would take the division, while the other would join the San Diego […]
Gerrit Cole has conspicuously struggled – at least, by his lofty standards – since Major League Baseball began enforcing rules against pitchers using sticky substances on the ball. That has opened the door for other contenders to make cases for the AL Cy Young Award, including Chicago White Sox starter […]
For the first half of the 2021 season, Jacob deGrom put up historic numbers to become not only the overwhelming favorite to win the NL Cy Young Award, but also a potential MVP pick. But with the Mets ace missing significant time due to injury, the door has opened for […]
Jonathan India has quickly risen to the Major Leagues, impressed his Cincinnati Reds teammates, and shown the potential to become a superstar. The 24-year-old second baseman has also positioned himself as the favorite to win the National League Rookie of the Year Award in a race that might come down […]
Randy Arozarena emerged as a postseason hero for the Tampa Bay Rays last year during the team’s run to the World Series. Now, Arozarena leads a crowded pack of young stars vying for the 2020 AL Rookie of the Year Award. The 26-year-old Arozarena is hitting .271 with 16 homers […]
On June 24, Zach Davies and three relievers combined for a no-hitter as the Chicago Cubs beat the Dodgers 4-0 in Los Angeles. The win kept Chicago tied atop the NL Central standings, a position they had been in – sometimes even with a slight lead – for most of […]
Jacob deGrom has put together arguably the best first half of a season for a pitcher in MLB history. But unless he keeps up his torrid pace, there’s no guarantee that the New York Mets ace will add the NL MVP award to his trophy collection. deGrom stands out as […]
Given the two-way performance that Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Angels has produced this year, it would take something special from another player to challenge him for the AL MVP award. But through the first half of the season, Toronto Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has put up […]
Major League Baseball began its enhanced enforcement against pitchers who apply foreign substances to the ball on Monday, launching a new era of inspections, arguments, and complaints. Several players and managers have derided the new guidelines this week. But commissioner Rob Manfred says the new rules are working as intended. […]
