DAILY DIGEST From the seventh inning on, Haugh did not allow the to even get on base as he did not allow a hit, a walk, or a run, and stuck out seven batters, leading to the Paints 5-2 Prospect League Champion- ship win. asked him what he was com- fortable with inning wise, and he said three Bigam said. we got to the seventh it was his and I just sat back and enjoyed Despite getting the win, it did not come without drama at the end as the protested the win, saying that Calopietro threw two too many pitches than is allowed by the league, but their protest was denied, and the Paints were named the 2019 champions.

Haugh earned the save in the game while Calopietro earned the win, allowing eight hits and two earned runs in innings pitched, in addition to striking out batters. McAninch allowed one hit and no runs in one inning pitched. Smith went one-for-three at the plate on the night with a walk and his grand slam. Eisel went two-for- three with an RBI and scored two runs. day one I knew this team was special, we all got along so Smith said.

of these guys are my best friends I will forever cherish the friendships I have made this summer and hope- fully I can play with them again. There was something special about this team from day one and I will forever remember these The Paints went 43-21 overall in 2019, going 40-20 in the regular season, and winning their one- game for the East Division title against the Danville Dans be- fore winning two-out-of-three in the championship series against the Paints Continued from Page 1B the trade deadline that they are the best team in the American League, and have a handful of aces to make everyone else ends up folding. Still, this is baseball, and some- times things are written in the stars, like a Kirk Gibson home run or a Mookie Wilson ground ball. Then again, some teams made sure to make the trades to help de- their destiny, unwilling to sim- ply roll the dice and take their chances. Others walked away and called it a year.

And some teams, well, a lot of teams, played it conservative or stayed pat, still hoping they can win, but not at the expense of giv- ing up any prospects that poten- tially will play a role in the future. Now, with the set to be- gin Oct. 1, make our own pre- dictions with the six division and two wild-card races. AL Wild-Card: The loser of the AL Central race between Cleve- land and Minnesota is virtually guaranteed one spot, while a battle of the small-market Tampa Bay Rays and Oakland for the other. The Boston Red Sox are technically still alive.

The TV folks will hate the matchup, but Minne- sota and Tampa will provide good theater. NL Wild-Card: There are seven teams bunched within 3 games, led by the Washington Nationals with 12 homers and 39 RBI since June 21. Cleveland have a tortur- ous remaining schedule compared to the Twins, but this is their time of year and win a fourth consecutive division title. NL Central: The Cubs certainly were the most aggressive of the contenders in the division, while the Brewers and Cardinals stayed quiet. The Cubs have the most tal- ent, with Nick Castella- nos turning into Sammy Sosa since being acquired, with homers in his 12 games.

AL West: Unlike the Dodgers, the Astros have at least had a little competition in the division. The only team still standing with them is the Athletics, but there will be an investigation if the Astros drinking champagne by mid-Sep- tember. NL West: It would have saved a whole lot of time just handing the Dodgers their seventh consecutive division title in spring training. They have made a mockery out of the race. spend the six weeks resting their starters, ex- perimenting with their bullpen, and mixing and matching with their position players.

They do much at the trade deadline to strengthen their bullpen, but it still keep them from a return trip to the World Series. So, there you go, all of the pre- dictions in one neat package, but stop by again in six weeks to see if the baseball gods really do reward the right teams. If not, well, why they play the game right? and St. Louis Cardinals. No team is hotter than the New York Mets.

No team is colder than the Philadel- phia Phillies. And no team is scari- er than the Nationals, particularly with Max Scherzer on the verge of returning. Ultimately, the Mets and Na- tionals earn the wild-card berths, providing us with one of the great- est pitching matchups in a post- season elimination game in base- ball history defending Cy Young winner Jacob deGrom vs. Scher- zer, a three-time winner. AL East: The New York Yankees may their at half-mast knowing that they no longer have any remaining games against the hapless Baltimore Orioles after Wednesday.

Their only suspense the rest of the season is whether they can hold the Astros for advantage in the American League, leading by games. The Yankees, who had the division locked up by the All-Star break, will celebrate their di- vision title since 2012. NL East: This division has the most parity in baseball, and could have four winning teams for the time since 2005, but the At- lanta Braves still are the team to beat. AL Central: This race was sup- posed to be over in May when the Twins broke out to an lead, and led by 11 games on June 15. Cleveland refused to listen.

And Jose Ramirez woke up. Cleveland is a major-league best 43-18 since June 4, and Ramirez is hitting .329 MLB Continued from Page 1B.
