SPECULATOR: 2018 All second-half team

We’re halfway home already.

As teams approach 80+ games this week, the true midpoint of the season is upon us, and it’s the perfect time to set up your team for the stretch run. By now, you have enough of an idea of your squad’s strengths and weaknesses and can align those with where the “bunches” are in your league’s standings. There’s still enough ball to be played for middle-of-the-pack teams to make a dog-day run, while first-place teams need to stay aggressive to avoid peaking too early.
