## Resource

Baseball’s second half is heating up fast—All-Star break’s over, trade deadline looms, and every team’s racing to October. The Dodgers still rule the NL West despite injuries, while the Brewers lead the NL Central with elite run differential. Tampa Bay’s back in first in the AL East thanks to pitching and clutch offense, and the trade deadline could flip the script for everyone. The Yankees struggle without Judge, the Cubs battle pitcher woes, and even the Guardians are finding magic in their rotation. Health, pitching depth, and timely trades will decide who survives—and who’s left in the dust. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
