With the second half of the baseball season about to get under way tonight, its time for teams to determine if their in it or not. With the second Wild Card teams like the Yankees who are .500 and 71/2 back in the division still have a chance. This next month is when teams are going to decide if their buyers or sellers at the August 31st, trade deadline. A lot of teams are right on the cusp and the next couple weeks will be telling as to wether they buy or sell, for example we'll know a lot about what the Yankees are capable of in the next ten games with 3 against Boston, 4 against Baltimore and 3 against San Fransisco. For example if the Yankees faultier in their next ten, teams will lining up to acquire Chapman, Miller, Beltran and McCann. Some teams that would be lining up to make a trade would be the Chicago Cubs who stated out strong and have faltered a bit, they could use bullpen help, the San Fransisco Giants like winning in even years, the Houston Astros are coming on and could use a bat and the Washington Nationals are right there and could use some bullpen pieces not to mention the Cleveland Indians.
MLB Power rankings:
1. San Fransisco Giants (they finished the first half strong and the Cubs didn't)
2. Chicago Cubs
3. Cleveland Indians (loaded for another potential Cleveland championship)
4. Washington Nationals
5. Detroit Tigers
