The Rockies likely had some lofty expectations when they signed Ryan McMahon to a six year, $70M contract prior to the 2022 season. The third baseman was coming off his best season in the Majors, a campaign that included being a Gold Glove finalist (next to Nolan Arenado and Manny Machado) and an improvement at the plate. McMahon struck out less…

Leading MLB in errors is not a laudable accomplishment, but that's where the Colorado Rockies find themselves. Currently, they are first in the league with 58 errors though the Pirates are close behind with 57. Recently, however, the Rockies' play has improved on that front. It's worth pointing out that during the last nine games, the Rockies have…

Baseball's postseason is darting forward like a runaway train. The Yankees on Tuesday night finally dispatched the Guardians. They celebrated over minutes, not hours, then rushed out the door for a flight to Houston for a new series Wednesday. The Padres and Phillies rushed through two games this week, then hopped a plane for the other coast…

The New York Mets have received more than twice as many bets - in terms of tickets and handle - than any other team in baseball to win the World Series, according to numbers released from BetMGM.The Mets opened at+2500 - and were The Athletic's Eno Sarris' early division-winner pick at+175 in January - and have since dropped to+1200 to win the…

Welcome to Underdog Friday, in which scrappy, 80-something-win teams pose existential threats to 100+ win teams. The Guardians/Yankees series doesn't quite count because that's a 92-win team against a 99-win team, but the Astros are probably pretty glad they didn't play on Friday night. Here be upsets. In 2057, Eno Sarris, Jr. is going to write an…

Welcome to the World Series, the 118th on record in baseball's long history. And every year we rethink what it all means. Five short years ago, the Astros took the Dodgers to the seven-game brink to win what many later thought of as a tainted title. This will be their third World Series appearance since then. The echoes of trash can banging have…

The quarter-point of the MLB season has come and gone with every team surpassing 40 games played. The sample is now more than big enough to draw meaningful conclusions about all 30 teams using their underlying numbers, run differential, and assess where we may have gone wrong or been right in our preseason assessments of them. Here are some betting…

The regular season is over and the stage is set, with MLB's Wild Card Series starting Friday. We asked our staff (nearly 30 voters) who they thought would emerge to take on the Yankees, Astros, Dodgers and Braves in the Division Series next week.
