Who's ready for a wild sprint to October?
Over the next two months and 60 games, Major League Baseball will attempt to do what before required a full six-month,162-game schedule. That is: Determine which 10 teams are best equipped to compete for a spot in the World Series.
Is 60 games enough to truly determine that? Time will tell. We just know that with a smaller sample size, stranger things are more apt to happen. When you factor in the new rules and the general uncertainty — we are still playing baseball through a pandemic, after all — this season has the potential to be the most unpredictable in recent memory.
