The 2024 MLB season has seen quite a few teams battling for a highly coveted postseason spot and because of that, more teams are beating up on each other than ever. With the Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees and Cleveland Guardians currently leading the league with 71 wins, this could be the first season since 2014 that no teams reaches the 100-win mark.
Jake Mintz & Jordan Shusterman discuss what the reasons could be for the lack of a 100-game winner this season including whether all teams have caught up with each other with the data they use in games and player scouting, whether major injuries have impacted teams that were expected and if it’s a good thing we don’t have a 100-win team in the league this year.
Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys break out the panic meter to describe how they’re currently feeling about teams like the Philadelphia Phillies, Baltimore Orioles, New York Mets and others. They then go around the league and take a look at some of the other headlines in baseball including Juan Soto’s three-home-run game, Jarren Duran being suspended for two games and the Tampa Bay Rays recalling top prospect Junior Caminero.
