Summary

It’s September 1st and we’re taking a look at where we stand in the 2022 MLB season. We’re talking division leaders, wild card spots, teams on the bubble, MVP discussions, and a lot more. Will the Guardians hang onto their one-game lead in the AL Central? Will the Yankees continue their abysmal second half and choke away a 15.5 game lead in the AL East? Will the Mariners make the playoffs and win the World Series? We're answering all these questions on today's pod. Timmy Trumpet was at Citi Field last night and performed a live Edwin Diaz intro and it was ELECTRIC. We can't wait to see more of it in the playoffs. Dallas has some eye-opening stats about Aaron Judge's performance as it pertains to the Yankees winning baseball games. Jared is considering taking half what he's going to win on his Guardians AL Central bet and putting it on the Seamen to win the World Series. We also talk AL MVP and reveal the SHOCKING odds that has Dallas questioning everything. Enjoy!
