Video Transcript
Let's quickly do the American League wildcard.
Currently, the Yankees and Red Sox have those top 2 spots, and the Mariners are 1.5 up on Tampa, 3.5 up on Texas, 4 up on LA and Minnesota, 4.5 on Kansas City and Cleveland.
Who finishes in these 3 spots?
I don't know, man, at least this is pretty difficult to pick at some point.
I do think the Mariners are going to be one of those teams because of what I did.
I know Tampa was my pick before the season to finish in that top spot.
But I think with how much better the rest of the division is playing and with what they're gonna have to deal with on the road the rest of the year, I'm a little skeptical they're gonna be able to hang on.
But I think these are the four teams we're really talking about.
Maybe Texas has a late push, although I'm skeptical.
All these other teams, let's just say like Texas down.
The team I believe the most in, weirdly enough, is Minnesota, even though I don't believe in them at all, if this makes sense.
They're the ones that, if you look at the run differentials, played better than their record compared to these other teams.
We haven't done a lock card yet.
So right now, Brewers are up 4.
They're 4 games, OK, of safety.
So that is uh 1.5 up on the Mets.
The Mets are then uh.
I believe that is 2.5 up on the Padres.
Padres are up a half game on the Giants, 1.5 on the Cardinals and 2.5 on the Reds, then falls off.
Diamondbacks, Marlins, Braves, and eventually the Rockies are down there somewhere, um.
Do the Brewers, Mets and Padres finish in these spots?
Man, I have gone back and forth on the Padres and Giants all season, because again, we talk about sort of like those bankable skills.
They have two all-star starting pitchers in Logan Webb and Robbie Ray.
And the lineup just isn't very good.
And I think that Des will heat back up and, kind of give them another well above average bat.
The Padres, the Padres are so funny.
Every year, it's like, man, they got some good players and then sometimes you tune in, you're like, who's getting everyday at bats for them?
How is this possibly the plan?
But, um, yeah, I think these three are probably it, but maybe you have more faith in the Giants.
I don't know.

Askey still aiming to strengthen Truro City squad
Truro City manager John Askey says he is still looking to strengthen his side ahead of their first season in the National League. The Tinners have already brought in a number of new players such as Harry Kite, Lirak Hasani and Max Kinsey, while Luke Jephcott has moved on a permanent deal after being on loan at Truro last season. City begin their first-ever campaign in the fifth tier at Wealdstone on Saturday, 9 August after winning National League South last season. "We still need another goalkeeper along with Lavs (Dan Lavercombe), we need another centre-back, another centre-forward and probably a couple of lads who can play in different positions," Askey told BBC Sport. "We're only a small squad and if we want to compete then we need to bring in one or two more experienced players." Askey is hoping he can strengthen his side before the start of the season. But he says he understands that he may have to wait until later in the summer transfer window for the right players to become available as other clubs make decisions on their squads. "We're pretty close on one player, he's just got past his medical," he added. "Then what you find at smaller clubs is you have to wait until you get towards the start of the season and you'll pick up probably better players than what you would at the start of pre-season. "Truro is not going to be players' first choices, so we have to wait and then when lads feel as though they've got something at an elite club, then all of a sudden the contract gets taken away or they're not taken on, then hopefully we can step in and pick up one or two bargains."

Rangers hope to flip World Series title script, and finish this regular season how they started '23
ARLINGTON, Texas — Chris Young is hoping that the Texas Rangers can flip the script from 2023, when they won their only World Series title . The Rangers would like to finish this regular season the way they started that championship one two years ago. Texas (53-50) went into its day off Thursday, after a three-game series sweep of the Athletics and a week before the trade deadline, with 59 games left. 'I look back on 2023 and we went 40-20 in our first 60 games. And after that, you know, the next 102 we were two games under .500,' Young, the team's president of baseball operations, said before the opener of that series against the A's. 'Every season has a different ebb and flow to it. And my hope is that the next 62 games are our best 62 games of our season. If that's the case, then we'll look back and say, hey, the first half of the season wasn't as much fun as we had hoped, but it was all worth it to get where we wanted to go.' While third in the American League West behind Houston and Seattle, the Rangers were only 1 1/2 games out of the league's final wild-card spot. They won two of three games at the division-leading Astros before the All-Star break, and are 5-1 since, including a series win over AL Central leader Detroit. There are three games at home this weekend against Atlanta and then three in Los Angeles against the Angels before the trade deadline. Texas is 12-6 in July and averaged 5.6 runs per game, nearly two runs a game more than in their first 85 games before that. The pitching and defense have been good all season, with the staff's MLB-best 3.16 ERA and a majors-low 32 fielding errors. The Rangers have allowed two runs or fewer in their last seven games, matching the longest such streak in Texas history. 'If we can continue the progress we've shown over the last several weeks ... it's going to determine a lot,' Young said about what the team might do before the deadline. 'So not to put any more pressure on anything, it's just the reality of this point in the season, and we're looking up in the standings.' Corey Seager, in the fourth season of his $325 million, 10-year deal with Texas, has a 24-game on-base streak. He has hit .356 with eight homers and 22 RBIs in what is the second-longest active streak in the majors, behind the 29 by Milwaukee's Christian Yelich. The two-time World Series MVP shortstop had a 30-game streak last year and a 26-gamer in 2023, making him the only player with streaks of at least 24 games in each of those seasons. Right-hander Jacob deGrom (10-2, 2.28 ERA) was the only Rangers player picked as an All-Star, but the team gave right-hander Nathan Eovaldi (7-3, 1.58) the $100,000 All-Star bonus from his contract even after he was left off the American League squad. Eovaldi is set to start Friday against the Braves, his first game since July 13, when he went 7 2/3 innings in a 5-1 win at Houston before the break. The 35-year-old right-hander was scratched because of back stiffness from last Sunday's game against Oakland, and a matchup with AL All-Star starter Tarik Skubal. The 37-year-old deGrom missed most of the past two seasons after Tommy John surgery, and his 118 1/3 innings pitched are already his most since 2019, when he won his second consecutive NL Cy Young Award with the New York Mets. DeGrom went to Atlanta last week but opted against pitching in the All-Star Game, and the Rangers intentionally gave him a nine-day break between starts. 'If we can keep him out there and keep getting the best version of Jacob for another 10 or so starts, it's a great thing for our club,' Young said. 'He's feeling really good, and we're doing our best to try to protect him from a health and recovery standpoint.' Josh Jung is 4 for 8 with a homer and four runs scored in three games since being recalled from Triple-A Round Rock, where the third baseman was sent July 2 when in a bad slump. Jon Gray made his season debut Wednesday against the A's, pitching two innings in relief for the win. The right-hander, who can be a starter or reliever, suffered a fractured forearm when struck by a comeback liner in a spring training game. Joc Pederson, the offseason addition out since May 25 because of a broken right hand, could re-join the team next week after a rehab assignment. ___ AP MLB:
