NBA Summer League rolls on! Even though we’re now past the halfway point, I’ll still include my warnings about how this tournament works. First, the rules are different. For our purposes, the three most important rule changes are that the games are 40 minutes instead of 48, players get 10 personal fouls instead of six, and it takes 10 team fouls in one quarter for a team to reach the bonus rather than five.

Syracuse, NY

Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (46-28/12-7) SYRACUSE 13, ROCHESTER 2 (BOX) A nine-run 5th inning propelled Syracuse to an easy win over the Rochester Red Wings in their first game out of the break. Both Rhylan Thomas and Luke Ritter had three-hit days, Carlos Cortes went deep, and Brett Baty walked three times (a potentially encouraging sign as he works through approach issues). Meanwhile, Tylor Megill struck out seven, though he did also walk four.

We’re a little past the halfway point of the 2024 MLB season, which can mean different things to different people. If you’re in the hunt for your league or (gulp) an overall: congrats! For the rest of us, now can be a time of reflection and projection, where we re-evaluate what went right or wrong this year and start to think about how we can apply those lessons to next season.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr, we can be friends again. Last year, he cost me thousands, but he single handedly won our bet for us yesterday. We had Jack Flaherty under 17.5 pitching outs (+115), and he was cruising with a four-inning no-hitter. The fifth inning was a little bumpy, but we entered the sixth inning needing a miracle. Flaherty struck out the first two hitters, and almost all hope was gone. Then, Spencer Horowitz drew a walk on a long AB, and Vladdy walked to the plate. After a long AB, he hits a home run, and Flaherty is removed after recording 17 outs.

(-130, FanDuel Sportsbook) Many may not have expected to see Tarik Skubal as the American League Cy Young favorite, but he was actually among the preseason betting favorites, especially after Gerrit Cole’s injury was expected to sideline him for two months. Skubal finished his first half with 2.41 ERA, 2.57 FIP and 2.70 xERA. Additionally, Skubal has 140 strikeouts in 116 innings, with a 30.8% strikeout rate. Now, Skubal has certainly earned the right to be the favorite, but Corbin Burnes isn’t far behind (+270, FanDuel), with a 2.43 ERA, 3.36 FIP and 3.00 xERA. Additionally, Burnes has logged 110 strikeouts in 118.2 innings pitched, with a 23.8% strikeout rate. Skubal certainly has the better peripherals, but one thing I question with Skubal is his workload. Prior to this season, Skubal’s career high in innings pitched was 149.1 back in 2021. With just 95 last season due to injury, at what point do the fourth-place Tigers say enough is enough with their ace? It is very possible the Tigers opt to shut him down or severely limit his workload down the stretch, which could certainly hurt his case for a Cy Young. At the moment, I think the right player statistically is favored, but long term, may be the wrong player.
