20. Washington Nationals

It’s been setback after setback for the defending champs….but it’s not like any of the Atlanta Braves fans are going to feel sorry for them. The latest injury is a season ending one to Stephen Strasburg.

19. San Francisco Giants

Here we go again, the Giants are on a lengthy win streak right before the deadline and it will probably cause them to be staying pat at the deadline instead of a rebuild they should be well into by now.

18. Miami Marlins

Give the Marlins some credit, as of today, they would still be in the playoffs. I do not think they will get in, but as many predicted, they have been better this year.

17. Cincinnati Reds

I picked the wrong Reds pitcher for my preseason Cy Young award winner. I should have gone with Trevor Bauer who has to be the leading candidate for that award up until this point in the season.

16. Baltimore Orioles

At the start of the year, I had the Orioles total win to be somewhere between 14 and 18. Yet, here we are at the near halfway point and they already have 14 wins.

15. Milwaukee Brewers

If you truly want to make the postseason, you can not be sitting on the verge of .500 and go get swept by possibly the worst team in the league. For the Brewers sake, hopefully they wont look back and wish they would have won just one of those three games.

14. New York Mets

All of a sudden, the New York Mets are playing good ball and are inserting themselves right in the picture. They obviously have 1 pitcher everyone would want to avoid come playoff time.

13. Toronto Blue Jays

After spending much of the off season trying to beef up the rotation, the Blue Jays have been laced with injury after injury to the group. The latest being Matt Shoemaker heading to the injured list.

12. St. Louis Cardinals

It will be very interesting to see how all of the double-headers that the Cardinals will presumably have to play down the stretch will wear them out or make them come even more together as a team.

11. Houston Astros

Only 1 current player has an average of .300 or more on the Astros…and that’s Carlos Correa with a average right on the .300 nose.
