Thanks to some hot streaks (Blue Jays, Brewers, Mets) and some not-so-hot streaks (Tigers, Dodgers, Astros), the MLB standings have, right on the cusp of the Trade Deadline, gotten almost absurdly tight.

The Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago Cubs head into the final series of July tied with identical 62-43 records. Both teams sit atop the National League Central, with the Cincinnati Reds trailing 6.5 games behind. It’s shaping up to be one of the most exciting division races of the season.

The amazing Milwaukee Brewers are the worst thing to happen to major league owners crying poor.

Is this season fun or what? Even with a loss on Sunday, the Blue Jays made a huge statement by taking three out of four from the Tigers. Max Scherzer made one mistake to take the loss Sunday, but he mostly looked dominant while striking out 11 batters on his 41st birthday.
