From Last Night:

• Holland brilliant in Rangers win over the A’s
• Burnett goes the distance as the Pirates top the Rockies
• The Cardinals punish the Reds, 15-2
• Blue Jays get two late to beat the Angels
• Doubront out guns McCarthy in the latter’s return
• KC and Cleveland keeping winning, gain no ground

What I’m Watching Today:

• Finally, an end to BioGenesis?
• Minor duels Strasburg as the Nats try to get back in it (7p Eastern)
• Greinke and Wainwright clash (7p Eastern)

The Big Question:

• Is Mike Trout really going to do this again?

The answer is already yes. After leading MLB with 10.0 WAR last season, he’s already put up 7.1 WAR this year. He’s having a better offensive season than last year and is adding more overall value even though his defensive numbers have taken a bit of a slide. He remains one of the best baserunners in the game and is doing all of this from a premium position on the field. In the last 365 days, Mike Trout leads baseball with 10.2 WAR, meaning he has essentially been consistently playing at a 10 WAR clip for almost two years. Only Met Ott has more WAR through age 21. This is getting scary.
