How quickly perception changes. A week ago after handling the Phillies, the Mets were the potential WC team I would not have wanted to face. Now it's the Braves in the NL that are a bit scarier. With Sale, Fried, Scwellenbach and Lopez, that is a rotation that stacks up fine against any in baseball. Iglesias has been lights out as a closer and the bullpen has gotten the job done as well. The line up gets a bit thin, but Albies, Harris, Olson and Ozuna are legitimate thumpers.

In the AL, the O's have righted the ship after a few miserable weeks. The pitching is still shaky after Burnes, but the line up is starting to perform at the high levels of earlier this season. The Yanks on the other hand have the big 3 of Cole, Judge and Soto, (and to a lesser extent Chisholm) but things slip a bit in the line up and on the mound after those 3.
