With slightly over two weeks remaining in the MLB regular season, teams are making their final push towards the postseason. While the playoffs are sure to be exciting, there’s always a downside; there will be good teams and players that will miss out.
The playoffs are always better with more MLBbros in it, but all of them cannot make it.
Some MLBbros such as Mookie Betts and Byron Buxton are helping to ensure their teams’ success, but others are faltering in a crucial part of the season. These MLBbros could find themselves missing out on October fun.
Michael Harris II
Atlanta Braves center fielder and MLBbro Michael Harris II experienced his toughest MLB season so far in his young career.
After a hot start, his average has dropped significantly lower than his first two seasons, but he still has delivered Gold Glove defense in the field. But his team needs more production from him to sustain their playoff hopes. The Atlanta Braves sit one game out of the third NL Wild Card slot. It will be a race to the finish.
The MLBbro has been batting slightly better in September which bodes well for Atlanta. If “Money Mike” can return to his from his first two years, it could be enough to spark another playoff berth in Atlanta.
JP Crawford
The Seattle Mariners shortstop has not had what one would consider a good year by most standards. Batting .200 on the season with only 23 extra-base hits is far from what the MLBbro is capable of. This is the lowest batting average of his career, and it has come batting predominantly in the leadoff spot.
Despite his struggles, Seattle is four games out of the third Wild Card spot in the AL with 16 games to go. There’s a glimmer of hope. Over the past week Crawford has been better with five hits in seven days. It may be too little too late.
Masyn Winn
The American League Central race is all but over, with the Milwaukee Brewers firmly in control. The Chicago Cubs have sprinted ahead of the St. Louis Cardinals in September and the Cardinals must rely on their players to right the ship. Young phenom Masyn Winn is a wizard at shortstop and is a very capable hitter.
However, his struggles in the second half of the season have plagued the Cardinals. He has stolen bases at a drastically lower pace, and his average has dropped. In September, the final month of the regular season the MLBbro is batting .114.
As a future cornerstone of the franchise, Winn needs to find a way to regain momentum as the Cardinals are fading out of Wild Card contention, back six games of the third NL spot with just 16 games left.
