The AL East is officially chaos.
Tampa Bay went 1-and-5 last week and is now clinging to the division lead on winning percentage. Aaron Judge is on the IL with a rib stress fracture. Austin Wells is out too. The Yankees are banged up and the division is anyone’s race.
Meanwhile Atlanta keeps rolling at 45-and-21, Milwaukee is pulling away in the NL Central, and the NL wild card is a five-team fight with half a game separating third from fifth.
James Wood is quietly becoming one of the best hitters in baseball. Jacob Misiorowski has the best pitching score in the entire analytics suite. And Colt Emerson, who is only twenty years old, is in Seattle’s lineup while the Mariners fight for the AL West.
Six divisions. All the numbers. No filler.
