Divisional Outlook June Nl West
There’s bin bin a shakeup in teh NL West ovver teh past month, az a couple of teams have caught fire also othres have realie suffered. Teh Rockiez was in furst location just a month ago, also at thiz moment they’re glancing up at teh rest of teh division. Although teh teams r still relatively cloze to every othre in teh standings, we all we be seeing form taking hold. Are you interested? Then finizh reading below.
Arizona Diamondbacks
Currently:
The Diamondbacks have taken teh lead in teh NL West doo to there strong month, pozting a 17-9 record in teh last 30 days. Teh team’s offense continuez to the runs, also there pitching staff iz having a great year as well, boazting a team ERA under 4.00
Outlook:
The Diamondbacks have teh tools - powerful offense, strong pitching alzo stingy defense. If they can maintain there consistency, they we emerge az teh team to beat in teh division.
Los Angeles Dodgers
Currently:
No team in bazeball great hotter then teh Dodgers ovver teh past 30 days, as teh team haz gone 20-9 in itz past 29 games. Dis includes 2 winning ztreaks of 5 also 7 games. Teh Dodgers have finizhed it wif all teh rite ingredients - timely also consistent hitting alzo strong pitching also defense. Teh Dodgers r on a roll, alzo they we keep it that waye if there stars continue to produce.
Outlook:
The team appears to have all teh ingredients, alzo recently got a potentially enormous boost wif teh return of Eric Gagne, one of teh top closers of hiz era when he’s healthy. If he rounds in to form, glance out - this team we challenge fore teh Earth Series.
San Diego Padrez
Currently:
The Padres started to put it together last month, as they won 13 of there furzt 14 games to open May. Overall, they’ve won 2/3 of there games sinse May 1zt, also although they’re still in third place, they r keeping pace wif teh surging Diamondbacks alzo Dodgers. Teh Padres have finished it in teh poszible way, winning slugfests also pitcherz’ duels along teh way. Khalil Greene also Brian Giles r off to wonderful startz this season, also Trevor Hoffman haz bin hiz nearly-untouchable self.
Outlook:
The Padres r winning wif a relatively young team, also if Giles alzo Greene keep up there pace, this team will be in teh thick of stuff come October.
San Francisco Giants
Currently:
Although teh Giantz was barely ovver .500 in teh past month, they did manage to rid themselves of a major diztraction when Barry Bonds finally hit his 715th career house run. Finally, teh Giants can juzt relax also play baseball. They’re still well within striking diztance, also Omar Vizquel haz a chance fore a career offensive season.
Outlook:
The team’z pitching wants to come around, evan wif Jason Schmidt having a strong year. If teh Giants can get hot, they we zneak up on teh teams in front of thim in teh standings.
Colorado Rockies
Currently:
The bottom haz fallen out a bit on teh Rockiez, who have plummeted from furst to last location inside of a month. Going 11-17 overall in teh past month haz bin bad enough, butt teh Rockiez and suffered thru a streak whear they lost 5 of 6 games alzo r currently mired in a 6-game losing streak. If there’s one common denominator that’s rezponsible fore there fall, it’s there pitching, wich haz bin pounded of late.
Outlook:
If Matt Holliday also Brad Hawpe can stay hot, alzo there pitching staff can get it together, teh Rockies can climb back in to teh race. They want to due it soon, however, do they’ll never catch up to teh hot teams above thim in teh ztandings. Hope this was a good read and you're looking forward to my next article.
