Plus: P.R.-Mexico in quarterfinals tonight
Who was the last Cardinals outfielder to win NL Rookie of the Year? |

| In the Major Leagues in 2022, there were 14 teams who finished with losing records. A number of them will likely lose more games than they win in 2023, as well. But not all of them will. One or more might even make the playoffs. How do we know this? Because this almost always happens, every single year.
There were three teams last year to go from below-.500 to the playoffs (Mets, Padres, Guardians). There were four such teams in 2021 (Giants, Brewers, Astros, Red Sox), two teams in 2020 (White Sox, Padres), one in 2019 (Twins) and two in 2018 (A's, Braves). You have to go all the way back to the 2005 playoffs to find an October that didn't include a team coming off a losing season. So: Who is it going to be in 2023? |

"Throw him the cheese! Throw him the high, stinky Limburger!" That's Henry Rowengartner's line from Rookie of the Year. Of course, pitching is more of an art than simply throwing hard. But sometimes it's just aesthetically pleasing to see a hurler who can dominate with ol' numero uno. |
