The teams no one wants to play in October (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The best teams over 162 games and the clubs nobody wants to see in October are not necessarily the same. The regular season and the postseason reward different things. Over six months, baseball is a test of skill and depth. The weakest links eventually get exposed. A team can survive a thin rotation, a shaky middle-relief corps or a few light-hitting positions for a while – but it's much harder to hide those weaknesses over six months. The games are fewer, off-days greater. The urgency is height
5 postseason dark horses -- if they make the field (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Rarely has a Major League Baseball season been more forgiving to middling ballclubs.

They may not headline the Deadline, but these are 6 sneaky good trade options (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The biggest names dominate Trade Deadline coverage, but championships are often won by the secondary moves. Most Deadline acquisitions aren't stars – they're platoon bats, middle relievers and fourth starters who solve specific weaknesses. They are the types of additions that can help a club today without sacrificing too much of tomorrow.
