New York Yankees Can this rotation be played until October?
Yankees are the first team in the major leagues to reach 70 wins this season, but they are not in very good shape lately.

Blue Jays' line strength is not to mention, and the starting rotation is quite stable, including Kevin Gausman, Alek Manoah and Jose Berrios . Such a combination can also play in October. But in addition to Terminator Jordan Romano , their bullpen is basically the average level of the major leagues or even below. If you can't get a backup pitcher with a K/9 value above 12 in the 7th and 8th innings, are you sure that Romano will receive a closing task every time?

tampa Baylight Can they recover their health?
Lights range from the Rattlers trade to the veteran left outfielder David Peralta , but this transaction is mainly used to supplement the team's outfield lineup full of wounded soldiers. The team's injury list not only has a ticket outfielder lies, but also strong plays such as Wander Franco , as well as important pitchers such as Nick Anderson and Tyler Glasnow .

Boston Red Sox Is the pitcher strength solved?
Who would have thought that after the two-thirds schedule, the Red Sox not only did not enter the playoff ticket competition circle, but even the record was not as good as the Orioles! Despite this, they still acted as buyers before the transaction deadline, adding two hitters, Tommy Pham (Tommy Pham) and Eric Hosmer (Eric Hosmer) , adding firepower to the line play.But they did not replenish the bullpen pitcher, and in the replacement operation, sent away left-handed pitcher Jake Diekman ... Can such operation help them turn the tables?

Minnesota Twins Can you tap potential from the inside?
trading deadline, Twin Cities replaced their own bullpen rotors and sent away Joe Smith, Tyler Duffey and Jharel Cotton , and exchanged Jorge Lopez and Michael Fulmer to hold on to 7 and 8 innings. However, once these two people are injured or in poor condition in the later game, the team needs to tap the potential of the bullpen pitcher inside. Will they call Ronny Henriquez or Matt Canterino to the major league practice at the end of the season?
Jorge Lopez
Cleveland Guardian Can the young player stand to the end?
As a small-scale team, it is expected and understood that the Guardians themselves do not make big moves, but when they are not behind the Twin Cities, they choose to believe that the young people who do have to take certain risks.

Chicago white socks Do they have the ability to turn the tables?
Under the eyes of many attention, White Sox has introduced left-hander Jake Diekman to add a left-hand shot to the bullpen, which means they still hope to compete for the top spot in the division and make the playoffs.

Can they reverse the two teams, Twin Cities and Guardians?
Jake Diekman
Houston Astros Can the starter pitchers stand until October?
There is no doubt that the Astronauts have the best performance starting pitcher rotation in the AFC. Justin Verlander aimed at the third Celeron trophy, and Framber Valdez also entered the All-Star Game , which made them even feel at ease and bold to release Jake Odorizzi to the Warriors in exchange for important backup pitchers Will Smith . But the question is, Virland is 39 years old , Valdes, Jose Urquidy and Cristian Javier have also reached the threshold of the highest number of innings in their careers. Will they be over-consuming and affecting their performance in October?
Seattle Mariner Will the strong bet strengthening pitcher work?
Mariners are another team worth paying attention to when the starter is stable and healthy, they choose to trade for the celebrity ace pitcher Luis Castillo instead of supplementing their relatively weak lineup. This means that the team hopes that the injured players can return in time and contribute enough points to the team. But the problem is that these players in played very well this season, and such operations are undoubtedly a big bet.

New York Metropolitan Do they strengthen enough?
Metropolis is undoubtedly one of the most popular NFC teams this season. After two-thirds of the schedule, they finally did not disappoint. After the series beat the Warriors, they also widened the gap with their opponents and led the NFC East. Jacob deGrom and Max Scherzer This pair of super double ACE combination looks very healthy and in a brave state. Chris Bassitt and Carlos Carrasco are also relatively reliable, and they have strong enough starting rotating points. However, the team did not focus on strengthening the line on the trading deadline. Compared with other teams, will they retreat if they don’t advance?

Atlanta Warriors Can Ronald Akuña get back to the courage?
Before the Mets series, Ronald Acuna Jr.'s attack index in the last 38 games was only .580! This is almost a 50% off his average career. Apparently he was still in a state of swing after the operation, but in the recent series he hit 8 hits on 19 hits, including 2 double hits and 1 home run. The question now is, can continue to maintain his state? As a new core, he is the key to the team's victory in Lianzhuang World Championship.

St. Louis Cardinals How many new players can help with the rotation?
Cardinals did not add the starting player, but instead received two experienced players, Jose Quintana and Jordan Montgomery, as reserve force. Although the two performed well in the game against their old clubs, , how long can such a state last? . The phenomenon-level performance is of course valuable, but if you cannot stabilize the pitching mound, it is hard to say whether you can break out from the National League Central District, let alone the playoffs.

Milwaukee brewer Send Josh-Head wisely?
This year, the top spot in the central region of the National League was between the brewer and the Cardinals, and it is difficult for the two teams to distinguish between Xuan Ze. But at such a critical moment, the brewer sent away the league's top terminator Josh Hader . Perhaps the team has quite confidence in the bullpen, but what about playing the line?

Josh Hader
Los Angeles Dodge Can the injured pitchers return with full blood?
In addition to introducing Joey Gallo (Joey Gallo), Dodges' trading deadline this year was extremely quiet, but their biggest problem is that pitchers are generally troubled by injuries, whether it is the starter or the bullpen. So Walker Buehler, Dustin May, Blake Treinen, Brusdar Graterol and Danny Duffy , who can return with full health? If 3 or 4 can return to their pre-injury state, the Dodge will have the best pitching lineup; if not, their October is also quite difficult.

Their operations were all for striving for this season and striving for the World Championship, but the task in front of them was to catch up with the Dodgers. At present, they have not achieved this goal, and the team has just been swept in the series against the Dodgers; , but Fernando Tatis Jr.'s return in the future makes everything look wonderful. The problem is that in the baseball field, building a grand formation never means a direct improvement in the record. Can the Padre break this rule?
Fernando Tatis Jr
san Francisco Giants Can they rush back to wild card match ?
Although the record is not satisfactory, the Giants still do not play the role of seller. retains two All-Stars - pitcher Carlos Rodon and outfielder Joc Pederson , which shows their determination to rush back to the wild card game. But although there is one more wild card seat this season, the Giants are still a bit far from the entry threshold; however, the recent successive wins have made the team's record improve , but if the record still cannot recover in another half a month, will the team regret it without using them to exchange for some chips in order to force the two generals?
