For some reason, the Toronto Blue Jays can never have nice things. This has included playoff wins, Shohei Ohtani, and trades made by General Manager Ross Atkins in recent years.

The Houston Astros have been having a surprisingly poor season. They haven’t had a record above .500 at any point this season.

There isn’t much to complain about with the Yankees bullpen this season. Don’t let the talking heads, “experts”, and couch GMs on social media fool you.
