So which surprising team will fall to pieces in the 2nd half of the season?
 
I think all 3 make the playoffs at least as a WC. The Giants have the best run differential of the 3 by a good margin and they play in the same division as 2 of the other best teams in the Majors, so even if they finish third in their division, they'll still get a WC spot and would still be better than the other two.

I just don't think there's a team in the Central capable of hunting down the Brewers. The Cubs will probably start rebuilding again following this season and the Reds are overachieving, and are still far behind.

I'll go with the Red Sox just because the Rays and Blue Jays are tough outs, and their record is better than their run differential
 
If any of the 3 falter I think it will be Milwaukee. They're offense is the weakest of the group and and I believe it's more likely that the pitchers will wear out and regress and I don't see the Red Sox or Giants' bats cooling off.
 
I'll go with None of the Above.

Fuck the Dodgers, Cubs, and Yankees
 
Red Sox have the third best run differential in the AL East, if you're one that believes things balance out over 162, Red Sox are the choice, though, like I said, I don't think any of the choices falls off the map
 
I really can’t pick other than the Giants here. They have all the stats to back up their results. It’s not been a fluke. I just think Boston and Milwaukee buckle down through the second half much more believably than the Giants.

I’m just not that sold on the Giants yet.
 
Is it too late to change my vote?

The pitching is sucking harder than ever and the bats have gone cold, Boston is reeling badly and threatening to go from first to worst in a matter of a month.
 
If any of the 3 falter I think it will be Milwaukee.
