major league baseball players, latest baseball newsIt has been a close fight this season on both sides of league. Guessing who will make the playoffs is easier said than done. There are a few teams that seem like sure bets though such as the 58-40 Chicago Cubs, 60-38 LA Angeles or the 57-43 Boston Red Sox. There is no sure way to make a bet though as the second half of the season is just getting underway.

The Cubs begin a series in Phoenix today against the Diamondbacks with Randy Johnson on the mound. The Diamondbacks have struggled against the central National League teams so a win today would be phenomenal. At this point Diamondback major league baseball players need to focus on getting above 500.

The Red Sox may have won the World Series last years but this year the road has not been as friendly. At home, they make the latest baseball news but away they are a bit weaker. No one should forget the talented major league baseball players on the 57-40 Rays who have dominated their division. Who do you think are the greatest hopefuls for this year’s playoff race?
