They’re the hottest team in baseball, but they’re not the best team in the league over the past month. That honor belongs to the Astros, who are 24-8 with a plus-57 run differential since the start of June. Their latest work this weekend in Los Angeles, pulverizing the Dodgers by 23 runs over a three-game sweep, was especially eye-opening.

The Toronto Blue Jays are on an eight-game winning streak (with back-to-back series wins)  which is a five-way tie for fourth-best on the 2025 season.
