Welcome to this week's Last Place Update. It's down to the wire now. The 58-94 Colorado Rockies have made their move, losing nine of their last ten games, but it's too little, too late. The 50-103 Houston Astros need two more losses or a Rockies win and an Astros loss to clinch a repeat as Kings of the Cellar. The 59-94 Chicago Cubs are a half game behind the Rockies and a win from being out of contention for the title. The AL worst Cleveland Indians are 63-90.
This week's honorable mention goes to the Toronto Blue Jays. They lost ten of their last twelve games and have six straight losses. The MLB leading and the last repeat Kings of the Cellar champions Washington Nationals have earned an honorable mention. Although they have the best record in the majors, they lost six of their last nine games.
Since the last update, the Astros are 2-4, the Rockies went 0-7, and the Cubs went 1-6. The Minnesota Twins did some winning and went 4-2, so they are off the radar for now.
Last year's Astros were 53-100 after 153 games.
Will the Astros clinch a repeat this week? Will the Rockies continue their collapse? Will the Cubs surprise everybody for no particular reason?
Stay tuned. Have a great day!!
