Baseball One Month of Baseball: Who’s On Top and Who’s Not? by William Coppola May 3, 2025 Image Credit: Bill Menzel/Latino Sports LOS ANGELES, CA — We are officially one month into the baseball season and can begin to see the direction most of these teams are heading. Some of the perennial winners are right where they are every season, as well as the perennial losers, with one or two surprises from both of those groups. I’m shaking my head with what I am seeing with both the third-place 20-13 Giants, who are doing well in the most competitive NL West division, and somewhat miffed at the 14-17 third-place Atlanta Braves of the NL East.

But we expected the 22-10 best in MLB Dodgers to be at the top of the heap and that the 22-11 Mets, with the addition of the richest player in the history of the sport, Juan, “Call me the 765 Million Dollar Man,” Soto, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, a multiple-time LatinoMVP award winner, should be a force to be reckoned with this year.

For the Cubs, making good trades and having no injuries to their key players makes for winning baseball. The 20-11 Padres are playing very well and will give the Dodgers a run for their money. I would not be surprised if San Diego, led by superstar Fernando Tatis Jr. (2020 NL LatinoMVP) overtake the champions to win the NL West.

The 19-12 Mariners, led by Jorge Polanco, San Pedro de Macoris, Dominican Republic, and 2022 AL LatinoMVP ROTY & 2023 AL LatinoMVP, Julio Rodríguez, Loma de Cabrera, Dominican Republic, is playing .600 ball and has the talent to win the AL West.

Wow, you may think, “That’s a lot of “Hocus Pocus, pie-in-the-sky predictions.” After all, there still are about 130 games to be played in the regular season, and anything can happen. Injuries, someone getting hot at the right time, a blockbuster trade that propels a team to the finish line, or any of a dozen things we can’t predict. But this is what makes this the best game on dirt: the unpredictability of it all.
