I've got the A's catching and passing the Mariners to take a wild card spot in the AL.
Nationals catching the Braves and the Braves missing out on the postseason
That's not exactly bold.
Braves have been mediocre at best since the middle of May. Still living off that nice first month and a half of the season. Been lucky that the Phillies have been streaky and the Nats have underperformed.
they were 14-11 in June. not really mediocre. just went 5-5 on a road trip against three potential playoff teams (one of whom will likely win 100+ games).

Gleyber Torres will continue to fade and will only be an occasional starter by the end of September.I've got the A's catching and passing the Mariners to take a wild card spot in the AL.
You cited a .560 month and a .500 trip to argue a team wasn't mediocre in that stretch? It's literally the definition of mediocre. If he had said "average" instead would you have argued? They were fine, nothing more.
But where is Robbie going to play? Not second base. Maybe not first base after the game Ryon Healy had yesterday. Not DH. We can't have Nellie Cruz in the outfield everyday. So, where is Cano going to play?Au contraire bonjour, (#LadiesMan)
I'll raise your AL West boldness and say Mr. Robbie Cano returns with a vengeance and helps the M's slip passed the mighty Astros to win the division.

His OBP certainly sucks but his defense this year has been close to GG caliber and he's averaging a HR every four games. Power is at an all time high in terms of value in baseball. But Podunkparte is right, when Cano comes back, from the way he's been sounding lately, we are going to see a guy who has not been so motivated in a long time. He's going to rake.he sucks
