Por su parte los texanos aprendieron que para ganar juegos no todos es bateo, se movieron en el mercado y consiguieron picheo y de sus granjas trajeron a los novatos más destacados, y para fortuna de ellos esos noveles han rendido al máximo, tendría que ocurrir una debacle para que los Rangers queden por fuera, esa debacle parece haber llegado al conjunto de Anaheim, quienes en una semana perdieron a Mike Trout y a Anthony Rendon, ambos por lesiones, luego de eso han sufrido varios reveses que comprometen su chance y mucho más con unos Marineros que se vienen recuperándose y están jugando por encima de los 500 puntos por primera vez en la campaña y actualmente ocupan el tercer lugar que hasta hace poco tenían los Angelinos, por eso veo muy factible que antes de la fecha límite el japonés Ohtani salga de esa organización.

In the West division the Houston team had a real dictatorship for some years, although they are still close to the lead, it seems that they have a solid rival that will not make it so easy, if the regular season had ended, the Astros would go to the next round, but as a wild card, while the Texas Rangers would be crowned as the champions of that division, in 2022 the Astros finished with the best won-lost record of all the major leagues and as icing on the cake they managed to be the owners of the World Series, there were few losses during the dead campaign and players of the stature of Jose Abreu arrived, but the Cuban has not been able to do what he did for years with the Chicago White Sox.

On the other hand, the Texans learned that to win games not all is batting, they moved in the market and got pitching and from their farms they brought the most outstanding rookies, and fortunately for them those rookies have performed at their best, a debacle would have to happen for the Rangers to be left out, that debacle seems to have reached the Anaheim team, who in one week lost Mike Trout and Anthony Rendon, both due to injuries, After that they have suffered several setbacks that compromise their chances and much more with the Mariners who are recovering and are playing above 500 points for the first time in the campaign and currently occupy the third place that until recently had the Angelinos, so I see very likely that before the deadline the Japanese Ohtani leaves that organization. 

The most disastrous division of all the major leagues is undoubtedly the central division of the young circuit, where the leaders, Cleveland and Minnesota are barely playing for 500 points and the Tigers, playing several games below, are only 5 games away from the top, in this same division are the Royals, who fight side by side with the Athletics for the worst winning record, It is a real shame that if or if a playoff qualifier comes out of here, leaving behind teams that are fourth in other divisions and even last, as is the case of Boston, who have a better season than the leaders of this central division.

We move on to the National League, with the Atlanta Braves leading the East and with the best winning percentage of all the majors, and here we also have the Marlins in second place and with a wild card spot, at this point it was thought that the Mets and the Phillies would be the ones fighting together with the Braves for the lead, as happened last season, It would be a real surprise to see the Phillies and Mets on the outside and before the deadline throw in the towel and sell their main stars, and the Marlins are the biggest buyers between now and the deadline to make the changes. 

The middle of the National League has surprised us since the beginning of the season, first with a high quality start of the Pirates, then the disappointing campaign of the St. Louis Cardinals, and in third place a surprising Cincinnati Reds, who have been occupying the first place, followed closely by the Brewers, the Reds are a set of rookies, with a leader like Joey Votto, that line up despite having little experience has been compacted in such a way that could be making changes in search of other players to help them win the divisional title.

Finally, the West division presents us with an Arizona team on top and above the arch favorites, Los Angeles Dodgers, the disappointment of this division has been the San Diego Padres, if you can notice in almost all divisions there are surprise teams and also big failures of franchises that were expected to go to the post-season, the second half of the tournament will be pure candle and could bring more surprises and new guests to the play-offs to be played in October.
