John Smoltz LOVES the thought of expansion and realignment.
“But we HAVE to do it right”
His thoughts involve having 2 different halves. A winner from each half that automatically makes the playoffs. And much more.

The Houston Astros just keep winning.
They have taken the first 2 games from a red hot Phillies team and are now 5.5 games up in the AL West.
They are 16-6 in the month of June which is good for the best record in all of MLB.
Inevitable.

People so badly want the Houston Astros to be bad.
They want them to stop being relevant. But they just never stop.
The Astros are inevitable.
And this week they’re back in the Top 5 of my Power Rankings.

Detroit Tigers BACK on top! 🐅🐅🐅
Shohei Ohtani became the Dodger with the most HR EVER through their first 57 games.
Soon he’ll be back on the mound.
But returning from injury should it be as a closer instead of a starter?
Who better to ask than John Smoltz?!
