A Look at The Chase

With the season at the halfway point we here at McCabe Magazine wanted to take a look the division races.

Notes: The White Sox lead the AL North by 7 games over 10 time division winner Toronto Blue Blues and the Milwaukee Brewers.  The Blues Jays are the defending AL North champions, and winners of the division the last 5 years, and 7 of the last 9. I hear footsteps.

Notes: Baltimore is McCabe Magazine’s choice to win this division. However, it won’t be easy. Despite losing records to date, experience owners’ pat007ohmss and ARomano are hot on the trail. We look for this division to go down to the wire.

ML AL South (Season 23)

Notes: The surprise team of the American League is the Texas Rangers which was our choice to finish last in the division with a 70-92 record. They trail the Kansas City Royals, the winners of the division the last 7 years.  

ML AL West (Season 23)

Notes: This is a two team race with the Dodgers pulling away at the halfway point. The Dodgers have only won the division twice in their history, seasons 19 and 20. We have both Anaheim and LA making the playoffs.

ML NL North (Season 23)

Notes: Owner mitt0108 took over the Cubs in season 21, pulled off some amazing trades, and I MEAN AMAZING, and has won the division the last two years. This division was once ruled by former Owner of the Year award patrickkm and the Detroit Tigers, only 2 losing seasons in his 10 year career.

ML NL East (Season 23)
Team

Notes: What else can we say about 6 time division winner and former World Series champion basebalguru and the New York Mets? They lead the division by 9 games at the break. The fat lady is warming up.

ML NL South (Season 23)
Team
Owner
W-L
PCT
GB
Tampa Bay Rays

57-34

-

Notes: Another surprise to our staff is the performance of the Tampa Bay Rays (9 game lead). All though we had the Rays finishing behind Atlanta and Florida with a record of 86-76, we did feel they had enough to make a run at the division title.



ML NL West (Season 23)
Team

San Diego Padres
jgarron

Arizona Diamondbacks

4
Notes: The San Diego Padres and owner jgarron have won the NL West division 16 time in 23 years. They are the best team, in the best division. However, yoker70 and the defending division champions Arizona Diamondbacks are doing their best to change the perception. They trail the Padres by 4 games.
