Un ejemplo de eso, es lo que ocurre en la liga Nacional, equipos como los Marlins de Miami y los Cascabeles de Arizona se han venido a pique, sobre todo los del desierto, Arizona después de la pausa del juego de las estrellas no ha logrado ganar 10 juegos y está muy cerca de tener 20 derrotas, lo que los ha llevado de tener el primer puesto del oeste durante los primeros tres meses de temporada a estar hoy en día en el tercer lugar a 12 juegos y medio de los líderes, los Dodgers de los Ángeles, sus principales figuras entraron en un letargo, sobre todo su novato estrella, Corbin Carrol, la falta de ofensiva y de picheo, tienen a los Cascabeles fuera de toda opción con miras a la Postemporada.

Al otro lado, es decir en el este de la Nacional, los Marlins de Miami han caído en una racha adversa, lo que hace que estén a punto de abandonar la lucha por el comodín, por los momentos comparten el último cupo con los conjuntos de Rojos de Cincinnati y los Cachorros de Chicago, a pesar de haber reforzado su nómina por la vía de los cambios, parece que el peso de la zafra lo están sintiendo, ya se encuentran bastante lejos de los Bravos y de los Phillies, quienes vienen rematando con todo y se afianzan como el primer comodín, el récord de los de Miami es 61 ganados y 57 derrotas, aun con 4 juegos sobre los 500 puntos, sinceramente no creo que logren aguantar la presión de los otros equipos que vienen subiendo y que cuentan con mejor nómina.

It is impressive how things in the big leagues change after the All-Star Game, year after year we can see that both collectively and individually abrupt changes happen, some players with incredible projections, end up with regular seasons, while others with low numbers end up with numbers that make them worthy of awards, this also applies to the sets that make life in the MLB, as some before the mid-season classic were leading comfortably and today they doubt their presence in the playoffs.

An example of this is what is happening in the National League, teams like the Miami Marlins and the Arizona Rattlers have collapsed, especially those in the desert, Arizona after the break of the All-Star game has failed to win 10 games and is very close to having 20 losses, This has taken them from first place in the West during the first three months of the season to third place today, 12 and a half games behind the leaders, the Los Angeles Dodgers. Their main stars have fallen into a lethargy, especially their star rookie, Corbin Carrol, the lack of offense and pitching, have the Rattlers out of any option with a view to the postseason.

On the other side, that is, in the East of the National League, the Miami Marlins have fallen into an adverse streak, which means that they are about to abandon the fight for the wild card, at the moment they share the last place with the Cincinnati Reds and the Chicago Cubs, despite having reinforced their roster through changes, it seems that they are feeling the weight of the season, They are already far away from the Braves and the Phillies, who are finishing off the season with everything they have and they are consolidating themselves as the first wild card, the record of the Miami team is 61 wins and 57 losses, even with 4 games over 500 points, I sincerely do not believe that they will be able to withstand the pressure of the other teams that are coming up and that have a better payroll. 

The Marlins will not have it easy if they want to recover, they have a very difficult series to play, they are currently playing with the Yankees, next week they will have to host the Houston Astros in a three-game series, then they will have to travel to Los Angeles to face the very tough Dodgers, And to finish this month, they have to go to San Diego to face the Padres who although they are not at the top of their division, they have an armored team that could trip up more than one team, they definitely have three very complicated series to face the team from the State of Florida.

On the other hand, the Arizona Rattlers, who have it more difficult than the Marlins, not because of the series they have to face, but because of the place they have in the standings, starting Tuesday they begin a series against Colorado, from there they visit the Colorado Rangers to play 4 games in a row, then they have the hard task of defeating the Texas Rangers in a couple of games, Then they go to Cincinnati to play against the Reds in 4 tough games and to close the month they have to battle against the Los Angeles Dodgers in a series of 3 games, surely at the end of this series, the fate of the Arizona team will be known, which is not looking good at all.

In the American League there are also teams that apparently are saying goodbye to the 2023 season, the Angelinos of the Angels of Anaheim despite bringing good players at the end of July and retaining the Japanese Shohei Ohtani, for a few days they were playing very well and climbing in the standings, but fell back into a bad moment and are in 4th place, perhaps the lack of Mike Trout in the line up, has made the Anaheim team to not be able to get up, it seems that the Seraphim's campaign is ending, it is a pity not to see Ohtani in the playoffs, it would be a real show, but the reality is another. 

Lastly, the Cleveland Rangers who started the season as favorites to win the pennant of the American Central division are moving away from that possibility, and not because their rival is playing great baseball, the fall of the Rangers is due to themselves, their performance is far away from last year when they overcame the Twins and were the champions of the center, This year they do not seem to have enough to recover, this team before the All-Star game was in first place and right now they are in second place 4 and a half games behind the leaders, and the worst of the case is that they have a record of 56 wins and 62 losses, six games below 500 points, the positive of all this is that we will see new faces in the play-off series of this 2023.
