MLB - Mid-Season Report

We have officially reached the half way point of the MLB season. To this point things have kind of played out the way we thought they would. If the playoffs were to begin today, I would have correctly picked 6 of the 8 playoff teams. As we all know it is a long season though. The trading deadline is approaching and there are sure to be some adjustments on the standings.
