MLB's Cinderella Team

[ragecage]

Who do you think may have a chance to go to the playoffs that we dont normally see?

I want to say Kansas City may have the best shot, or maybe Pittsburgh if they keep pitching so well.

The Royals have the best chance, I think they, Minnesota, and possibly Detroit will be battling in out come September.

EDIT: Oh, Seattle looks like they'll be a stubborn team as well.

[Jeffy25]

Seattle? haha idk

[OregonDuck1989]

Seattle with that weak division but KC is on their way back.

I'm confident that it's a 5-way race come September.

I'm willing to way out on a limb here & say that Pittsburgh will not be in the wildcard race

Pittsburgh's staff is not holding up. They're getting by on smoke and mirrors right now, walking 73 guys to 101 strikeouts. As a team, they have a .252 BABIP, by far the lowest figure in the game. That is unsustainably low.

Well yeh, but who wants to add stats to this conversation

[TheBigBomber]

The Tigers for sure, compared to last sure they're doing great. Especially with Laird, Everett, Jackson, Anderson, and the new guys. GO TIGERS!

KC because of the very, very mediocre division. KC's pitching peripherals are fantastic and their offense has actually been kinda unlucky (low BABIP given their line drive rate)..and their patience has improved significantly...7th in the AL in walks, which is WAY better than last year.

They've got a chance...not the favorites, but they are in the mix.

i like smoke and mirrors.

KC or Seattle

The Natinals might win the Bud Bowl this year.

KC or Seattle

Kansas has a very good top 3 and if they add Bannister I'll definitely like the back end more, not to mention the bullpen.

Seattle as well because of the rotation. They have arguably the best 1-2 punch in the league and the rest of the staff isn't terrible. The bullpen could be their downfall, but they've been winning games with an insanely bad offense (much like KC) that has nowhere to go but up.

[TheProdigy]

I'll enjoy the ride my buccos are giving me so far. The last 2 days the bullpen has looked human. Hopefully they keep it going. I could care less for playoffs this year, I just want to see the team approach 81 wins.

I'd have to say KC and Seattle could be the "cinderella's" this year. I wouldn't say Detroit would be a Cinderella because they've had great success recently.
