    The Red Sox apparently have the highest winning percentage of any professional team in MLB-affiliated baseball: https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/40037140_1949690208424263_6523972240776626176_n.png?_nc_cat=0&oh=6d6cc99abe32ad8800dd74587000e58e&oe=5BEE422D My local short-season Class A team is second.

    I had enough confidence in young Shane Bieber to include the 23-year-old righthander in my fantasy lineup against the Red Sox.

    Leonys Martin, the fleet outfielder the Guardians acquired from the Tigers in a deadline trade. http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/24416988/leonys-martin-cleveland-Guardians-being-released-hospital-infection

    The Red Sox have an 82.38 (.698) record overall, 19-11 (.633) in one-run games and 28-9 (.757) in blowout games (of 5+ margins). https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/BOS/2018-schedule-scores.shtml The Orioles have a 37-88 (.296) record overall, 11-23 (.324) in one-run games and 10-24 (.294 in blowout games. https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/BAL/2018-schedule-scores.shtml

    This Mariner fan was about to write the same thing. I suspect a team's record in one-run games should regress to that club's record in games decided by more than one run. This year's Red Sox should have a better record in one-run games than the Orioles do.

    The Seattle season has been an all-time "anomaly," according to FanGraphs columnist Jeff Sullivan: https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-mariners-still-look-like-an-all-time-anomaly/

    I witnessed Oliver Perez's MLB debut against the Seattle Mariners on Father's Day 2002 in San Diego: https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/SDN/SDN200206160.shtml Perez outdueled fellow lefty Jamie Moyer.

    Seattle had been a very luck team. The luck has run out.

    And one could argue that the Athletics have posted their record in a tougher division. The other teams in Boston's division have a combined record of 231-261 (.470) while the other clubs in Oakland's division have a combined record of 263-234 (.529).

    To be precise, Seattle is 24-22 since the Mariners last played the Red Sox: https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/SEA/2018-schedule-scores.shtml After last night's walk-off balk, the Mariners are 31-16 (.660) in one-run games, the Athletics are 26-10 (.722) and the Red Sox are 19-10 (.655).

    And six years of 23-year-old outfielder Austin Meadows probably headlined that trade.

    The Rays can look forward to five more years of Tyler Glasnow, who turns 25 years old in five days.

    This year Jose Ramirez has played in the field only at third base, which has an fWAR position adjustment of +2.5 runs (not the +7.5 runs at shortstop but more than the -7.5 runs in right field): https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/explaining-win-values-part-three/

    The 2017 Diamondbacks averaged 5.01 runs a game in the 93 games before J.D. Martinez was acquired and 5.01 runs a game in the 69 games after Martinez was acquired. Arizona posted a 54-39 (.581) record before Martinez came on board and a 39-30 (.565) record afterward.

    As a side note, some Seattle fans think closer Edwin Diaz should be under consideration for a Cy Young Award or Most Valuable Player: http://forums.seattletimes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=242523&start=10 Diaz has posted 46 saves with a 1.98 ERA, 15.3 K/9 and 6.67 K/BB for a Mariner team that is 19 games above .500 despite a negative 22 run differential. The M's are 30-14 in one-run games. Over the weekend Diaz became the first pitcher in 14 years to post four saves in a four-game series. The slumping Mariners went into Houston to face Justin Verlander, Gerrit Cole, Charlie Morton and Dallas Keuchel but came away with a sweep. Despite that the Mariners would again be on the postseason sidelines if the season ended today.

    Wade Miley was a small price to pay but the lefthander posted 0.6 fWAR (0.5 bWAR) in 19 starts for Seattle after leading the 2015 Red Sox in starts, wins and innings pitched. Carson Smith has posted 0.3 fWAR (0.5 bWAR) in 29 appearances with the Red Sox.
  20. harmony
    If Carson Smith is out for the season do Red Sox non-tender the righthander who has only two more passes through arbitration after earning $850,000 this year?

    The Rays could have an interesting young rotation next year with Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow, Jose DeLeon, Brent Honeywell and perhaps Jalen Beeks. DeLeon, who turns 26 years old next week, is the oldest. On Baseball America preseason Top 100 prospect lists, Snell topped out at No. 12, Glasnow at No. 14, Honeywell at No. 14 and DeLeon at No. 23. Honeywell and DeLeon will be coming back from Tommy John surgery.

    In 2001 the Oakland Athletics won 102 games and finished 14 games behind the AL West champion Seattle Mariners. That year the four-team AL West finished a cumulative 84 games above .500 while the five-team AL East finished a cumulative 32 games below .500. Nevertheless the New York Yankees represented the American League in the World Series that year.
