Machado Extends Padres Lead Hot Take or Nah 

Machado just launched another one, further solidifying his place amongst the league's elite power hitters. Is he the most impactful player on the Padres right now, or does someone like Soto still hold that title? This Padres team seems dangerous, but are they truly World Series contenders? Their pitching staff has been inconsistent, and I wonder if that will ultimately be their downfall. What moves do they need to make before the trade deadline to address this? Lets hear your bold predictions. Who takes the NL West, and who comes out of the American League? Is this finally the year we see a shakeup in the usual suspects? Discuss.
