If Coors Field is hell for pitchers, then Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati might just be Death Valley during a heat wave.

To much fanfare, MLB teams tossed aside their actuarial tables to spend huge sums on free-agent players who will age far out of their prime. Carlos Correa, pending his $315 million for 12 years with the Mets, will become the 16th free agent this winter to sign a contract that pays through at least age 36. Teams spent $896 million on 41 player…

Wednesday was an offday for American League Division Series action, so we only had the National League to watch. Both NLDS games at least made for compelling TV, and even better, both guaranteed at least one more playoff game in each series.

After a bright start to the season, the Miami Marlins have come back to earth over the last week.

Throughout the rest of the offseason, as the Orioles deliberate the best way to add another starting pitcher to the rotation, the calculus could shift the organization's thinking more toward pursuing a trade than signing a free agent. The free agent market for higher-end talent has already dwindled in that area, and Baltimore has appeared hesitant…

The Los Angeles Dodgers took a 1-0 lead in the best-of-five NLDS by virtue of a win in Game 1 on Tuesday night. They are two wins away from getting back to the NLCS for the third consecutive season.

The Cubs are getting ready to play ball and take on St. Louis and Milwaukee for first place in the NL Central.

And that's true even after their signing of…

The Major League Baseball season is a marathon. Just because a team gets out to a hot start, does not guarantee they will still be standing by October, as so many things can happen over the course of a full 162-game slate. There are some teams that got off to fast starts, who have slowed down entirely, and others who stumbled out of the gate and…

Two years of going for it and another with the best intentions - if not the all-in financial expenditures - led the Texas Rangers to a point of no return last season. By June, the decision was made that the Rangers would be rebuilding, and 2019 will be more of the same from the team that won back-to-back American League West titles in 2015-16. And…

Both pitchers have winning records but neither has been as good as those records would indicate, with ERAs north of 4.10. Both teams have struggled to string wins together this year and the Padres have been better away from home (13-7) than the Phillies have at home (9-10).

The last day of spring training has arrived. It's time to do one more roster prediction, since I hate to pass up a chance to show how wrong I can be. (Plus, hours after my last roster projection arrived in your inboxes, the Padres traded for Luke Voit. You're welcome.) There is a decent chance at least one more move is coming before Thursday's…

It's been a disappointing spring for the San Diego Padres, who only made a few notable transactions when the lockout lifted in early March. And if MLB insider Jim Bowden's prediction is correct, the disappointment will continue into the regular season, so much so that they'll end up trading away some big names and punting the season. On Monday,…

Before the season began, I predicted the Oakland Athletics would win 92 games and just miss the playoffs.

There won't be any come-from-behind surprises this…

The Post's Mark W. Sanchez previews the NL West O/U wins: 97.5 Key player: Mookie Betts. For the Dodgers to be historically great - which is a real possibility - they could use their $365 million man in peak form. The right fielder was merely very good (.854 OPS) but not great last season, and the lineup is even more ludicrous with the addition of…
