MLB Shockwave: Tigers Seize Top Spot as Dodgers Stumble and Mets Ignite a Fierce Comeback!
19. Texas Rangers (29-31) 📉
Slightly worse. A lineup that seemingly shines on paper has disappointed for the second straight year, but the rotation (this Jacob deGrom fella seems pretty solid!) has been so good that Texas remains in striking distance of a playoff spot. There are still a good amount of red flags on this roster worth being worried about, but the AL West is fairly forgiving. The Rangers are far from toast — they just have some work to do.
20. Atlanta Braves (27-31) 📉
Much worse. The Braves appeared to have more than enough talent to hold down the fort until Ronald Acuña Jr. and Spencer Strider returned from injury, but their superstars instead rejoined a club well-behind the pace in the NL East and still searching for its identity. Acuña and Strider can still play a big role in propelling Atlanta back into the playoff race, but it projects to be a much more daunting mountain to climb than many would’ve expected at the start of the season. And those two can’t do it on their own.
