New Faces In The Big Show -- 


Has everyone heard of the name yet? Milwaukee's Jacob Misiorowski took the league by storm with 11 no hit innings to begin his MLB career. He proving that he belongs in the big show and has already beaten Skenes in a head-to-head matchup earlier last week. He's the next big thing that everyone is talking about and he's here to stay. 

Another pitcher, Chase Burns, from the Reds organization, shocked the MLB world when he struck out the first five hitters of the Yankees in his MLB debut. He was pumped absolute gas in that game and it's questioning what they are feeding these new rising superstars. This is the new normal and we're all here for it. 

The A's have built a team over there in Sacramento and it's filled with young guys who just want to win. Nick Kurtz is the newest addition and he's on fire. In June, he's already hit two walkoff homers and hit 11 home runs in 22 games as well. With him hitting bombs all over the field, the people of Vegas should start beginning to feel good about the Athletics when the tie comes to play in the new city. 

On the Rise -- 


Miami Marlins, maybe one of the biggest surprises, Miami is red hot and is starting to climb up the standings in the National League. The Marlins don't have too many superstars, but have found a way to win seven games in a row to finish up June. We'll just have to wait and see if they can keep winning for the rest of the year to put itself in the conversation of the postseason. 

Milwaukee Brewers, they began the year over their first 60 games or so at basically 50%, winning some and then losing some. But, the Brewers have found a groove and have won eight of their L10 games now. We think that this NL Central is a lot more competitive than it has been in the recent past this year.


World Series Contenders -- 


Los Angeles Dodgers, the most stacked team in baseball, looking to go back-to-back -- (53-32)

New York Yankees, have started to pull away a bit from the rest of the American League East Division and has Aaron Judge who is putting up historic statistics this season -- (48-35)

Philadelphia Phillies, has been the number one team in the always really competitive National League East Division with New York/Atlanta still fighting to get back. -- (49-35) 

New York Mets, Just a couple games behind Philadelphia with Juan Soto heating up in June. -- (48-37)

Houston Astros, always a good roster and have started to figure out how to play without Yordan Alvaraz who will be coming back soon. -- (50-34)
