Although it can be said that the 2024 season in the major leagues is just beginning, we can already see how some teams called to fight for the title are showing clear signs of recovery, others are still waiting for those signs, but they should speed up the process a bit, although it is true that the MLB season is quite long, they can not rest on their laurels, because there are teams that could become the surprise of the season, in every professional league there are usually one or two teams that become the revelation of such tournaments and go against all odds, I have some candidates to be so, but that would be a topic for future publications.

In the Eastern division of the American League, which is called by major league baseball specialists as the strong one, we can see how things are taking their course, the Baltimore Orioles at the time of this publication was only half a game behind the New York Yankees who are still at the top of the division mentioned above, but this is due to their great start of the season, but they lowered the pace of play and everything indicates that they will end up ceding the top to the Orioles who are called to fight for the divisional title, But if they went up others went down, the Boston team is about to touch the bottom of the East standings, they currently have a record of 13 wins and 10 losses, only beating the Tampa Bay Rays by just one game, the Redbirds are expected to be between fourth and fifth place and it is expected to be the New York Yankees who will keep them company, but personally I believe that the Big Apple will fight for one of the American wild cards.
Un caso similar ocurre en el centro de la liga Nacional, en donde unos Cardenales de San luis no parecen superar lo ocurrido en la zafra pasada en donde ocuparon el último lugar de la división y actualmente continúan allí con registro de 9 ganados y 13 derrotas, a seis compromisos de quienes lideran la tabla, no les veo mal picheo y su ofensiva es capaz de hacer muchas carreras, en el papel tiene equipo para estar en mejor posición y creo que lo terminaran haciendo, pero tengo mis dudas con respecto a sus posibilidades de alcanzar a los Cerveceros, cuyo equipo es joven y con sed de probar las mieles de la victoria, aunque aún es muy temprano, me atrevo a decir que los de Milwaukee son los Rangers de la zafra pasada y cuidado con las sorpresas, amanecerá y veremos que ocurre en estos 140 juegos que aún faltan por efectuarse.

While it is true that some teams are taking places in the table to which they were predicted, there are others who continue in debt and continue to play in a way that is not the usual, a clear example of those I speak of are the Houston Astros have the worst record in the West division and the 4th of all the major leagues, that is to say they occupy the 26th place, the siderals are called to take this division and to be in a hypothetical World Series, But the reality is that they do not even surpass the Oakland Athletics, who give them as sure losers of 100 or more games, the main problem of the Astros is their starting pitching, since injuries have played against them, fortunately for them there are still 140 games left, and most likely they will get some arms that can help them to overcome this contingency.A similar case occurs in the middle of the National League, where the St. Louis Cardinals do not seem to overcome what happened in the last season where they occupied the last place in the division and currently remain there with a record of 9 wins and 13 losses, six games behind the leaders of the table, I do not see them with bad pitching and their offense is capable of scoring many runs, on paper they have the team to be in a better position and I believe they will end up doing it, but I have my doubts regarding their chances of reaching the Brewers, whose team is young and thirsty to taste the sweetness of victory, although it is still very early, I dare to say that Milwaukee is the Rangers of last season and watch out for surprises, it will dawn and we will see what happens in these 140 games that are still to be played.
