But no, they’re not livin’ on a prayer. Instead, they’re working their way toward their first division title in 30 years and nobody but themselves can stop them.
I love the halfway point of the season for a few reasons. One, it’s the point when we’ve gotten to see a lot of baseball, but know there’s still a lot of baseball left. It means that the sample size is big enough to make legitimate judgments on players because typical hot streaks don’t for three months. It also makes it super easy to project the rest of the season because you multiply everything by two.
