MLB Playoff Race Shockers: Unexpected Contenders Emerge at Memorial Day Turning Point
The projection model foresaw a winning season by the Rays, but the perennially overachieving franchise is 16 wins above their preseason number – more than any team. They’re 23-5 when scoring first, 19-5 at home (welcome back to the Trop) and 9-1 in one-run games while jumping to a majors-best 33-15 (.688) record. Yandy Diaz (.316-8-33) continues to be one of baseball’s more underrated hitters.
The Guardians set an all-time record in coming from 15.5 games behind of the Detroit Tigers to win the AL Central title last season. The two teams were tied for the division lead on May 4 when the Tigers placed ace Tarik Skubal on the IL. Since then, the Guardians have enjoyed a surge, now up 12 on their preseason win projection. Noteworthy, they’re the only team to have the same five pitchers make every start. Meanwhile, the Tigers have gone into a 2-14 tailspin since losing their two-time reigning AL Cy Young Award winner. That includes the Guardians pulling a four-game sweep in the Motor City this week.
