Badderfive Monthly Winners

1st Place Tampa Bay Rays

The weakest month of July with an 8-21 record

After having their best month in June of 17-8

With the July collapse they went from wild card contenders to sellers

Two months left and do they continue to fall or get hot again

8 games above 500 going into the month of July

Payroll of $86 Million Dollars for 55-58 Record

Bad time for a bad month as the Cardinals end with a 9-19 record

The July collapse ended up making the Cardinals sellers instead of buyers

With 8 weeks left and 6.5 games and struggling was cemented this month

After two good months reality hit and the Cardinals are on the outside looking in

$129 Million Dollars for 56-57 Record

The Nationals have fully embraced the rebuilding process with a 9-18 record this month

The July poor performance just confirmed what everyone knew about the Nationals

Still recovering from their World Series in 2019…….

Maybe the next two months won’t end as bad as the 1st few months

Payroll of $109 Million Dollars for 44-67 Record

Not to be outdone by the Nationals; the Braves had a record of 9-18 as well

The Braves have officially moved the chapter and fighting for last place in the NL East

Nothing has gone right for the Braves but they won a game at a race track

With 8 weeks left in the season this year couldn’t end any sooner

And with all this talent locked up for years to come one can only hope this was a speed bump

$213 Million Dollars for 47-63 Record – this is the highest payroll for worst performance on the year

Finished the month of work with an 11-17 record

The Giants fall from being tied for first place to sellers has been expected but still dramatic to see unfold so quickly

4-11 after the All Star break cemented their complete fall from grace

Currently sitting 6 games back in the wild card and will continue to fade into the offseason

Even picking up a highly paid guy like Devers hasn’t translated into success

$174 Million Dollars for 56-56 Record
