If you wanna support "low tier" team go for the Rays tbh.
I think they are the lowest paid players in all of MLB.

Superstar Pitchers,

Kershaw.
Trevor Bauer.
Hader.
DeGrom
Gerrit Cole
Glasnow

Oh yeah my favorite hitter outside of Dodgers is Soto from the Nationals

Good grief that was hard to watch! The good news is, Pillar walked it off after that horrific pitch.

God bless this man!

Also, I need to start keeping this thread active more. The Braves pitching has depleted. Huascar Ynoa broke his hand, punching a fucking dugout bench! Out for a couple of months! What a way to miss time dumbass. Charlie Morton's a shell of his former self. He hasn't done anything spectacular. Mike Soroka's likely not to pitch again this season. Max Fried exited the game last night with a left hand cramp. What a disaster!

Sucks for Trout missing significant time with a calf injury:

Los Angeles Angels center fielder Mike Trout was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right calf strain and is expected to be out six to eight weeks, the team announced.

Trout appeared to strain his calf in the first inning Monday night against the Cleveland Indians while jogging to third base on an inning-ending popup. He was noticeably uncomfortable as he made his way to the dugout and was immediately removed from the game.

Angels manager Joe Maddon said after his team's 7-4 victory that Trout was undergoing further evaluation, including an MRI.

"I saw nothing. I looked up and he was limping to the third base bag,'' Maddon said Monday night. "It was kind of innocuous, and I had no idea why. It was hurting him pretty good.''

Trout, 29, was batting .333 with eight home runs and 18 RBIs through his first 36 games, leading the majors in OPS and FanGraphs wins above replacement. He was batting only .129 over his past 11 games but began the season with the best 30-game start to his career.

The Angels are tied for the second-lowest run-differential in baseball despite MVP-caliber contributions from Trout and two-way player Shohei Ohtani. Los Angeles was already shallow with its outfield depth after Dexter Fowler's season-ending knee injury.

Trout's prolonged absence might speed up the timeline for top prospects Jo Adell and Brandon Marsh.

This season is just not the Minnesota Twins's year. Awful bullpen play has caused a complete collapse on the season.

Bryce harper got in in the face as well...

I think I'm gonna end up supporting the Angels because of Ohtani and Trout.

RIP come playoffs then I'm a big fan of both those guys though I can't lie

Corey Kluber has thrown a no-hitter!

Shohei Ohtani didn't have a perfect night, but guy still is so impressive.

 

[T-Pein™]

Corey Kluber has thrown a no-hitter!

This is getting ridiculous...
6 so far.

Baseball now consists of strike outs and home runs. Everyone is swinging for the fences.

Yeah I'm fully aware that they're never getting near silverware but I still enjoy watching those players so I'll just roll with it.

I support the Mavs in the NBA for Doncic and same thing applies.
