With October baseball right around the corner, the importance of September games ramps up quite a bit. Over the next few slides, we'll analyze five of the biggest takeaways from the past week in MLB.
As the season speeds to its conclusion, more attention is obviously being paid to end-of-year storylines. Playoff positioning and award races have become prime talking points across baseball circles.
Can the Pittsburgh Pirates catch the St. Louis Cardinals in the NL Central? Who will emerge as the favorite in the AL Rookie of the Year race? How can anybody make a case for someone other than Bryce Harper to be the NL MVP?
Not only will we tackle those storylines, but we'll also touch on some teams on the other end of the spectrum. The race for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 draft and the details regarding Ruben Amaro Jr.'s dismissal from the Philadelphia Phillies are both riveting headlines to discuss.
