With the second half of the 2027 Major League Baseball season now upon us, it's time to check in on things at an individual level and rank the top 50 players of the season thus far.  As for what informs these rankings,

The Phillies have the best record in baseball (33-16) since Don Mattingly took over as manager.

Baseball Prospectus released its midseason prospect rankings, with top Tigers prospect Max Clark falling eight spots from the preseason list.

With the 2026 MLB draft now complete, it's time for an updated look at how all 30 MLB farm systems stack up, and how recent picks fit into their team's organizational top 10 prospect lists.

Can the Yankees catch the Rays? Will the Braves hold off the Phillies? As the second half begins, we're predicting the rest of the regular season

This marks the start of what is commonly called the second half, but in reality, there's a lot less than 50% of the schedule remaining, as clubs have fewer than 70 games left to play before the postseason arrives.

The All-Star break is behind us, the Trade Deadline is less than three weeks away and everybody has enjoyed some rest and relaxation to fortify themselves for the stretch run. The second “half” is here.
