2025 National League midseason grades: Dodgers, Cubs, surprise Giants get ‘A,’ Paul Skenes can’t save Pirates

We have reached the middle of the 2025 main league baseball season, and that means it’s time to hand over team grades in the first half of the current campaign.

This is not predictable, and the designated classes are not intended to ensure that this team will continue to play when they will continue to play. In general, these classes reflect the performance to date in the context of pre-matching expectations. Exceed the expectations and you will receive high marks. Fall well from them and you will get through D or F brand. You know how it works?

This installment, we will present MIDPOINT classes for the National League. Suppose the position, senior connection squads …

The expectations were large for snakes in 2025, with which the basic core returns to a free filling of CORBIN burns. Burning, however, will miss the rest of the season after Tommy John Surgery. Outside of this, Arizona underestimated elsewhere and finds themselves in the fourth place in NL West and four teams in the third and final nl wildcard location. D-Says is unlikely to be buried but 2025 is frustration so far.

Every time the braves seem to be entirely deleted to completely erase their consequences of their 0-7 during the season, they support. Often, it seems that they have to beat against the team. The crime was widely disappointing, but the most urgent problem is the health of rotation. Ace and Righing NL CY YOUNG WINNER CHRIS SALE is on the IL with a rib fracture, AJ Smith-Shawver, and Reynaldo Lerbez is still recovering from April sheic surgery. One of the most effective starting pitches of baseball, Spencer Strider, one of the most effective pitcher of baseball in its first season, does not look at its UCL in its first season. Right now they look like playbacks, so one of the most excessive teams in 2025.

North Sidders mix in the best records in baseball in this busy loop. The crime has been revelation, because right now the pups are in the second place in NL for Runs, and in the third place. Step Tukhs and Pete’s crow-Armstrong seems to be destined to end of Top-10 or even the top five with NL MVP voting.

The reds are above 0,500, have a comfortable positive distinctive version and still mixed in the posthumous spot. They have reached conformity, although only 11, starting with ACE Hunter Greene, and despite the Matt McLain return season, which is not hoping so far. In order to take a serious step, the red must find their way: DH, the first base and the right battle for better production from the first position.

No one thought the rocks would be important in 2025, but no one thought that they would continue to be the worst team in the long history of such things. The main battle finds a focus of 126 losses that would break all the time record for losses that were simply defined by White SOX of 2024. In addition, the rocks have already exceeded more than 200 runs in 2025. It’s a kind of to play half of your games above sea level and can somehow earn the 27th place earned.

Rotal injuries continue to come, and Dodler continues to win. This critical node holds them first in the first place in the best post of NL West and NL. They play the return of Shohei Ohtani to the hook, but when he stretches, he is great for that percussion. It is also impressive that Dodgers have been playing one of the hardest NL schedules so far. The overloaded load in Losal has so far the best crime in baseball.

There is not a lot to say. Marlins imagined that they were bad, and hey, they are bad. They have been a reasonable shot at the fourth place in the Fourth. It’s a little pathetic that it’s like that, but it’s a lot of smoking if Sandy Alcantara can transform a certain value before she is (very likely) to the July 31 trading deadline. His total numbers remain gloomy, but he has recently given more directions.

The small engine of the NL, which can continue not to criticize expectations and prosper, despite the turnover of the annual list. Halfway Mark finds brewers in a playoff position and a welcome distance of first-seat cubs. As such, Milwaukee has a strong shot to make the last eight years. Recently, the arrival of Hakob Misorovsky gave Brisans the opportunity to make a real front line. They remain Dovingy Smart and a clever organization.

Some of the glitter have lasted the adults in recent days, as Juan Soto is more and more like his usual independent plate. Rotation, which teams have succeeded in May, has predicted a predictable regression. Still, the adults remain one of the best baseball teams, and it is possible that the trading period is active for Steve Coven’s club.

They are currently at the top of the NL East tournament table, and it is good enough A. Remains a pronounced power even Aaron Nola’s poor performance and injuries. It’s a very tall staff because production out of Bryce Harper is missing Trea Turner and Kyle Schwarber. Philler could really use a bats of another influence to distinguish a difficult partition. So far they have been employed.

On the positive side, Paul Scay is predictable to be a young opponent of the CY, and Andrew McCchen enjoys a 38 effective age campaign. After all, this is the last place a team that PACE is for xx losses. As such, in the last five years, Buccos risk their third 100 loss season. BOB nuts that refuse to invest in the right levels to invest, continue to be a leading guilty of the organization.

Will padres make the delay in the patent history for the early years? They are not currently in the playoff position, but such a result is playing a lot. They are tight .500 but lose to the Dodgers in the NL west. Rotation is great concern right now. Michael King is an inflammation of the shoulder without a clear schedule, Yu Darvish (Elbow inflammation) still need a playing field, and Joe Musgrove will miss the whole season as he restores Tom John surgery. In addition, Dylan’s termination was not in the form of the top. Despite all this, Padres remain in a quarrel.

Giants are located within Dodgers and currently attract the second place card slot in NL. It is a good result for a team that came into the season as if they were bound to the fourth place. Rafael Devers Red Redbuster Trade is improving the probability of giants before Rafael Dex. Elsewhere, Helot Ramos seems to be all the stars, and Logan Webb is like a young candidate for CY.

This is a reset / transition year in St. Louis, as a long-standing lead operator John Mozeltak is going to bypass the end of the season. Even so, the cardinals are good at the site of 0,500 and playoffs. It was certainly not expected. Brendan Donovan may be a star for the first time in his career. The loss of Ivan Hera’s injury will damage the coming weeks, because he was very far away and far away from their most effective hit when he was healthy. In the long run in the tournament table, the long run will make the deadline for an interesting trading in St. Louis.

At this season NATS has received great investments from key players involved in Juan Soto’s trade. James Wood, CJ Abrams and Mackenzie Gore. However, the huge balance of the list has not been largely done. This is a great extent, a reflection of lack of liability for ownership. DC flirts last place, though played one of the weakest times in all MLB to date.
