May 27th MLB Fun Fact: On this day back in 1968, two (kind of one now) franchises were introduced to Major League Baseball: The Montreal Expos (whose run north of the border lasted until 2004) and the San Diego Padres. Before they were officially awarded spots in the National League, they underwent a 10-hour meeting with all other club owners.
Division Standings
NL East → Yankees (32-13)
NL Central → Twins (27-18)

Leadoff Series, Lineup 5 drops on Tuesday! The rosters per Lineup remain as stacked as ever with beasts like Juan Soto, José Ramírez, and Freddie Freeman. There’s a chance to pull NL Rookie of the Year contender Hunter Greene or maybe your pitching preferences lie with Albert Pujols 🤷♀️. Both are hiding in Lineup 5 packs.
ICYMI: Leadoff Series, Lineup 4 dropped last Tuesday, and the first Legendary was pulled almost immediately. The number two for early AL Rookie of the Year frontrunners has entered the chat. Julio Rodriguez has an epic ceiling in Lineup 4 and his already big name might get a lot bigger at the end of this season. Grab a pack and maybe you’ll get lucky.

Looks Inside the League
Play of the Day:
- 5/20: Nolan Gorman First Career Hit
- 5/21: Adley Rutschman Triples for First Career Hit 🤝
Adley Rutschman getting the call up is bringing a kind of life and excitement into Camden Yards that hasn’t been there in a couple of years. MLB’s number one prospect came up ready to go sending the ball deep into right field at his third AB on Sunday.
- 5/22: Franchy Cordero’s Walk-Off Grand Slam
- 5/23: Goldy Walk-Off Grand Slam 🥇
Two walk-off grand slams in back to back nights? Whew. Monday was Goldy’s 7th career grand slam too; a Candy Legendary proving his spot in that Top 100. Riding on the Hall of Fame Highway, Goldschmidt ranks in the Top 5 for position players in games, home runs, RBI, total bases and WAR since the 2012 season.
- 5/24: Joc Pederson’s 3 HR Night
- 5/25: Joey Votto Legs Out and RBI Triple
- 5/26: Miggy Brings in the Walk-Off Win 🫡
20 years in the league? No problem! Miguel Cabrera is batting .300 this season and just brought in his 14th career walk-off putting the Tigers over the Royals at the bottom of the ninth. Not shocking after he surpassed 3000th hits earlier this season. There’s no surprises from this man, unless you didn’t expect him to shimmy so well.
Congrats on the major league debuts of the week! 🎉
- Adley Rutschman - Baltimore Orioles
- Cal Mitchell - Pittsburgh Pirates
- Graham Ashcraft - Cincinnati Reds
- Ivan Herrera - St. Louis Cardinals
