This week in the franchise league
By Scott Brown
AL EAST
It appears the Rays are going to the postseason and it also looks like they will be the only team from the East to make it this year. Toronto had a great year and may even reach a century in wins being led by names like, Rizzo, Dozier, Boyd and Stroman but there were 2 juggernauts out west. Tampa Bay went an incredible 11-2 since this last write up.
AL CENTRAL
It’s still a close race here in middle America with just 3 games separating the first place Indians from the second place White Sox. There are 2 divisions that will be playing some “meaningful” baseball the next 2 weeks and this is one of them.
AL WEST
Seattle has 1st place locked up and the A’s have the wild card locked up. I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see these 2 teams in the ALCS. Both teams have been more than solid this year.
NL EAST
The Braves have gone coast to coast like a top thoroughbred and have never really been challenged. This team will be tested in the playoffs though and it will be interesting to see how they respond
NL CENTRAL
This was a close race just a few write ups ago but one team has risen to the top and STL is on pace for over 110 wins. They will be the only team from the central playing in October but the Pirates and Reds have made great strides this year.
NL WEST
This is the other division that will come down to the wire with the Rockies just 1.5 games ahead of the D-Backs. Both teams played very well since this last write up with Arizona going 10-6 but Colorado bettered that by going 10-2. Although both teams will be playing playoff baseball having being the NL West champions could come in very handy.
I have had some things going on so I will try to get one more write up down at the end of the year and maybe even get at least one in the playoffs. Good luck to all the teams!!
