J.T. Snow touts Bryce Eldridge as a future Giants cornerstone, urging an earlier call-up and predicting 25–30 homers annually with a long stay at first base. He questions the Devers trade in hindsight, cites Eldridge’s lefty struggles vs. lefties in the minors but power vs righties, and notes Dominic Smith’s injury opened the door for a late-season debut that Snow believes could foreshadow a multi-decade Giants tenure.

New York Mets cling to a Wild Card chase despite a midseason collapse that prompted bullpen overhauls and a push to protect a thin rotation. Injuries and underperforming deadline adds shadow the season, yet the club remains alive with a 12-game stretch against Diamondbacks, Padres and rivals. Lindor and Nimmo anchor the lineup; Soto provides power but consistency has wavered. Stearns faces a critical test: fix the rotation, stabilize the bullpen, and coax October magic from a streaky roster.

Wednesday’s TV/radio slate blends MLB with a sprinkling of NBA, WNBA, college golf and soccer, led by Texas Rangers at Houston and Dodgers hosting Philadelphia. Cubs at Pirates and Giants at Diamondbacks anchor a busy MLB night, while the Dallas Stars feature in media notes with Wyatt Johnston and coach Glen Gulutzan. Radio focus centers on Rangers coverage and Dallas hockey chatter, signaling fresh DFS angles and late-night betting pivots across multiple leagues.

MLB betting slate for Sep 16 centers on a low-scoring Cubs-Pirates clash, with Cubs under 0.5 runs and Cubs/Pirates under 7.0, plus White Sox as home favorites over Orioles. Expect inflated lines on Braves at Nationals and Brewers at Angels as playoff races fade. Promos and props across DraftKings, Caesars, FanDuel, and bet365 shape the action.

Geraldo Perdomo has surged in the second half, pairing elite plate discipline with louder contact to power Arizona’s late-season push. He’s improving walks, trimming strikeouts, and turning pitches he once spoiled into meaningful contact, delivering power, speed, and on-base threat. His two-way value—glove at short, aggressive baserunning—drives his fantasy upside and MVP chatter as Arizona chases a Wild Card, with sustained quality of contact the key to staying in the conversation.
