It’s still so early. A year ago the Tigers were winning two of every three games. They squeaked into the last AL playoff berth on the season’s final day. The Twins were 26-21, and they ended up trading everyone but Minnie and Paul at the deadline. The Jays were 22-24; things worked out for them. The Mets were 29-18; things didn’t work out for them. The Giants were 28-19, the Cards 26-21. The Brewers were 22-25.
Baseball runs for six months. We play 162 games. Let the season breathe.
