If you flashed, you might have missed the first halfMajor League Baseballseason.
Yepp, we are already at Game 81 for many teams where they all pass this weekend.
There is just a safe fire that is a convincing divisier race, one or two more who should be competitive and three others who may be over on Labor Day., as they are.
Yet it is not just about the flags, at least at the moment.
A glance at nine key numbers such as MLB turns the back of the back:

Aaron Judge: 30 Housewife
They are already strange that referee has matched his 2022 81 game Homer Mark, which was a prelude to his American leagueRecord institution 62-home barrier.Hje, the weather is now also heated.
Yes, it is quite remarkable that judge has hit 24 home runs in 45 games after having only hit six in his first 35 .686, for a 1,111 Ops.
This year: .306/.431/.701, 1.132. This is after a slow start.
It only adds to turn on the heat, take itDodger Stadium -Chain connection HekkenCan he stop that he might have put together the most amazing robot-three-year-old races that we have seen of a 6-7 swallow.
Gunnar Henderson: 5.9 War
Of course it is not so nice to throw the war in the brand half-road, because multiplication by two is simply not that easy.A 12-win-the season, calculated by baseball reference, since the 12.4 war season of Carl Yastrzemski in his triple crown-winning campaign of 1967.
Yet the first half of Henderson was so good.
His 26 homemade is number two for the 30 of the judge, one Vooruit Shohei Ohtani.He has 13 stealing in 14 attempts, one 1,005 Ops, one .387 OBP.HAN's 70 races lead the great competitions you would expect from a man who hears most of a man who touches Leadoff, most nights.
All this in a 22-year-old Shortstop-Trouwens is bound to 11EIn outs above average.
Henderson has shown small signs of slower and looks like a strong effort to become a member of Mookie Betts (10.7, 2018), Judge (10.5, 2022) and Mike Trout (10.5, 2016) with the lonely double digital war seasons in the past decade.
Spoiler Alert: These guys won all MVPs in their 10 war seasons.
Paul Skenes: 11,8 K/9, 7,63 K/BB
The reigning # 1 general elections and the most exciting pitching display of 15 years has something of an incomplete character when it was called up in May, and his statistics after eight starts are more suitable for a fourth digit than halfway.
But these statistics are real, really good.
Do not remember 61 strikes in 46 ⅓ rounds that project 244 punchouts in a 32-start season.
If he threw enough laps to be eligible, the strikes of Skene would be in third place in Majors, behind Garrett Crochet and Tyler Glasnow, and his Strike-Go-to-Relationship fourth.To start all of them, it is not all a bad basis of his 99 MPH Firsøm Fastball to play on which you can build.
In most record performances, Fastball splits (or, splinker, as they like to call it) are more than enough.26.4% touch percent part that is not far from its 30% rate on Fastball.
It all comes down to a 2.14 ERA, a 2.50 FIP and especially a 6-2 Pirates record in the game, he actually starts.
Shohei Ohtani: 48 Extra Honkslagen
We watched the songs from Ohtani under ourQuarterly check, and although not as sublime as in May, Los Angeles Dodgers Sluggger can still achieve an amazing force.
With 25 Homers by 82 team competitions, the first 50-end season of his career is within reach, and he is the career high 46 that he struck in 2021 at the peak of Piek.Yet 25 Homers, 21 Doubles and two triple are giving him a shot at a little -known milestone: 100 extra basehits.
There have only been 13 seasons of 100 extra basehits, with eight of those in 1937 or earlier.The course of a year in which the stroke average of the competition of 0.242 and OPS of 0.704 respectively was the lowest since 1968 and 1992 respectively.
A bit strange that he leads NL in adapted OPS (190).And Batting (.322), Slugging (.643) and OPS (1,045).
Phillies, Yankees, Guardians, Orioles, Dodgers: 50-53 Vinder
Yes, so that is why the pennant retrch may be a bit of a cheers.Most compelling raceof the second half.
But Braves canConsistencyTo chase Phillies in NL-Øst.The guards, behind Jose Ramirez's 44-homes, 150-RBI Tempo andRookie -manager, are eight games in the striped twins.Dodgers must have a double digits ahead of the All-Star break.
Enjoy the quantity, even if it gets some excitement in the last three months.
