hard hit rate of any player in baseball by only the bigger names like Otani and Judge you'd expect and of course they're pitching Schmidt last night six strong innings Freed up for me is going to win the Cy Young without Garrett Cole those guys haven't missed a beat even the struggles of Devin Williams have been able to hide because of Weaver and Mark Leonard Jr so Yankees look like a juggernaut right now in the American League

with the Orioles being maybe one of the greatest surprises in the opposite direction, struggling so much. That division does look like something the Yankees will run away with, and the pitching has really been the thing that galvanizes you if you're a Yankee fan, that excites you, because without Garrett Cole, we all anticipated that would be a disaster. But let's look at the National League now.

So the pause when I look at the Chicago Cubs, and I called PCA as my breakout star of the year because I met him in spring training. I love the guy. He's got stars in his head. I go, how am I going to outrun for this guy? And he's been awesome. We knew his defense was good. Plus 23 outs above average since the start of last season.

That's the best in all of baseball, but also his offense, of course. I mean, he's slugging over 600, and he's got 51 RBI, which is amazing. 49 RBI, excuse me. Say Suzuki has 51, his teammate. That's like the quietest 51 RBI in baseball. Suzuki's... Single season career high is 74. Only Aaron Judge and Otani have more extra base hits than him this season. So Suzuki leads in RBIs.

I haven't even mentioned Kyle Tucker, of course, is one of the great hitters in our game and has done so much for that lineup. And Dansby Swanson, over the last month, his OPS went from 560 to 760. He is now back to being the above average player that he should be. Chicago looks really good right now, man. Like, only the Brewers and the Rays have more steals than the Cubs. So they're slugging it.

They're actually a fast team that has power and has all those different dimensions. Like I said, PCA right now is making a push for MVPs, leading in war. I worry about their pitching a little bit. I do think the Cardinals will hang around. Cardinals have more balance than the Cubs. That should be a great rivalry in the Central. But yeah, Cubs looking legit.
