The Makers hold to very first place for an additional week; the Reds have been playing well; the Cubs boost their run differential - yet not standing - in the department; the Cardinals are out of the basement; if it had not been currently, the year of the Pirates is officially over.1: Milwaukee Brewers 56-46, - GB)I was in Philadelphia to view the Brewers play the Phillies last Tuesday night. It was an uninspired performance from Milwaukee, and they wound up shedding 4-3. However they took the next 2 video games prior to losing a series-deciding game 3 at home against the have one more this week vs. Cincinnati before departing for three at to enjoy: Abner Uribe has actually thrown 5.2 innings for the Brewers, however his stuff looks solid. A 14.54 K/9 in that very short period, to support his 100+ miles per hour fastball, and Uribe could be a dominating backend presence for Milwaukee. Just 23 years of ages, try to find Uribe to go numerous miles in a Makers uniform.2: Cincinnati Reds 56-47, 0.5 GB)The Reds dropped five out of 6 to the Brewers between both ends of the All-Star break, making the optics of a division-run grim. Dividing 2 versus a powerful Giants team and afterwards obtaining a series move versus a having a hard time Diamondbacks team, Cincinnati is still in a position to take on the Brewers, especially with one more collection versus those main frontrunners finishing up today. The Reds travel to Los Angeles to play three versus the to see: People like to explain of imperfections in otherwise intriguing and unbelievable players. Making the rounds on social networks are the feasible disadvantages in Elly De La Cruz's video game, including his groundball rate. At 57 percent Luke Voit Jersey, De La Cruz rates amongst the greatest groundball players in the video game. With a low-grade 96 wRC+, he's cooled down off precipitously from his preliminary entrance to the video game. He's young, so these things may end up being a blip on the radar. However the Twittersphere had anointed him King of the Video game beforehand.3: Chicago Cubs 49-51, 6.0 GB)These Cubbies have a +45 run differential, still the only group in the division with a favorable amassing of runs. It appears not to matter, as the group is still floating in a non-competitive ether called third area in the NL Central. Probably they might make a run, but with just over 2 months left on the calendar, a six-game deficiency is starting to impend huge. I figure the Cubs will probably stand pat now. Though they have won four in a row.
