Por otra parte, equipos como los Astros de Houston y los Rangers de Texas han bajado su ritmo ganador, de los Rangers podemos decir que aún están dentro de la clasificación a la postemporada gracias a esos juegos que ganaron en los primeros tres meses de campaña, definitivamente el despertar ofensivo de núcleo central de line up, han hecho que los Marineros hayan ganado una gran cantidad de partidos de manera consecutiva, para nadie es un secreto que el dominicano Julio Rodríguez no estaba teniendo la mejor campaña, si se le comparaba con lo hecho en el 2022, pero parece que su participación en el derby de jonrones le hizo reaccionar y está bateando de manera contundente y constante, algo que no había hecho en los primeros meses de contienda.
We are about to enter the last month of regular season in the MLB, teams that a few weeks ago seemed to be out of the playoffs, today have changed the story, and the reality is different, an example of what I mean are the Seattle Mariners, before the classic of the stars this set was located in fourth place in the table and playing below 500 points, but there was a resounding change in the mentality of the players, all led by the rookie of the year last season, Julio Rodriguez.
On the other hand, teams like the Houston Astros and the Texas Rangers have slowed down their winning pace, of the Rangers we can say that they are still within the postseason qualification thanks to those games they won in the first three months of the campaign, definitely the offensive awakening of the central core of the lineup, It is no secret that the Dominican Julio Rodriguez was not having the best season, if compared to what he did in 2022, but it seems that his participation in the home run derby made him react and he is hitting in a forceful and constant way, something he had not done in the first months of the season.
Si este trío de equipos estuviesen haciendo parte de la división central estarían de manera cómoda en la punta, porque los líderes de esa división son los Mellizos y solo han ganado en 66 oportunidades, y Seattle que está en el tercer sitio del oeste tiene 71 ganados, sin lugar a dudas el nivel que hay en el este y el oeste, es muy superior al demostrado en el centro, ya está es la segunda temporada en donde se muestra ese pésimo nivel, ni Detroit y Chicago han podido, y para completar los Guardianes se contagiaron y están jugando por debajo de los 500 puntos y eso hace imposible que algún equipo pueda aspirar a los cupos que se otorgan para disputar los juegos de los play-offs.
In the recent finalized week, Rodriguez was named most valuable player of that period, homers and pushes made his beloved Mariners achieved the wins that have so far with one of the three wild cards in the American League, only half a game behind the Astros and a game and a half from the top, that is Texas, it is incredible that Seattle is above the big favorites New York Yankees, team that is in the last place of its division, definitely this sport can give us many surprises and for the fans of the Seattle team are very pleasant such surprises, recently the largest number of wild cards seemed that would come out of the east of the young circuit, but that at this time has moved to the west, from pole to pole, as both the Astros, Rangers and Mariners are qualifying to the next stage of the championship.
If this trio of teams were part of the central division they would be comfortably in the lead, because the leaders of that division are the Twins and they have only won 66 times, and Seattle which is in third place in the west has 71 wins, undoubtedly the level in the east and west, This is already the second season in which this terrible level is shown, not even Detroit and Chicago have been able to, and to complete the Guardians got infected and are playing below 500 points and that makes it impossible for any team to aspire to the quotas that are given to play in the playoffs.

The opposite effect is what the leaders of the West are going through, the Texas Rangers have been going from strength to strength, after the All-Star game they have lost momentum, despite having made a series of moves where they brought great players and strengthened their pitching, and a sign of that was the arrival of Max Scherzer and Jordan Montgomery, but now it is their strength that has fallen, as is their offense, two days ago they incredibly lost a game they were winning by three runs, but the flamethrower Aroldis Chapman could not close that game and took the painful defeat, to that we can add the above mentioned the great level that the Mariners bring and the notorious improvement of the Astros, in the absence of a month and days the Rangers could be left out or otherwise lose the championship of the western division, it will dawn and we will see what will bring this final stretch of the championship in the young circuit of the big leagues.
