The next tier of teams featuring the Cardinals, Marlins, Pirates, Diamondbacks, and Nationals are all within 11.5 to 12.5 games back of the Brewers. The San Diego Padres (14 GB) are getting dangerously close to the dead zone, but their +4000 California sports betting odds show they can still turn it around.
Who’s Hot: Garrett Mitchell And The Milwaukee Brewers
Brewers’ outfielder Garrett Mitchell has recorded multiple hits in three of his last four games, part of a stretch with 15 hits in his last 11 games. His offensive success and reliable fielding have contributed towards the Brewers’ rise to the top of the National League standings.
Milwaukee’s won nine of their last 13 games and currently ride a four-game win streak. They’ve moved past the Dodgers in the pennant and have extended their NL Central lead to seven games over the Chicago Cubs.
Who’s Not: Jakob Marsee And The Miami Marlins
After being featured in the Who’s Hot section in the previous NL odds tracker before the All-Star Break, the Miami Marlins have descended into the Who’s Not category. The Marlins flipped a six-game win streak into their current seven-game losing streak, and outfielder Jakob Marsee has slumped alongside the majority of the lineup.
Marsee is batting just .194 this season after an impressive .292 average last season as a rookie. He’s gone hitless in four of his last five games and has gone seven-consecutive games without knocking in a run.
What To Watch For In This Week’s NL Pennant Race
- The Brewers’ next 11 games are against four of the five worst teams in the league (New York Mets, Colorado Rockies, San Francisco Giants, Los Angeles Angels)
- The Marlins will play two more games in Houston before hosting the San Diego Padres and Philadelphia Phillies in critical NL matchups
- The Pittsburgh Pirates odds could shift with two games against the New York Yankees, followed by series against the Chicago Cubs and Arizona Diamondbacks.
