With clubs eclipsing 250 at-bats and 50 innings, sample sizes about RDBL Rosters are starting to grow enough to form some opinions about the fate of teams for 2024. One thing looks to be certain - the race for the six coveted Playoff spots looks to be quite deep which should lead to a strong summer race to the finish line.

Pitching Matchup of the Day (Ragans vs. Burnes)
We won't have to wait long as a heavy morning schedule includes a prime-time matchup between Honolulu Hammerheads ace Cole Ragans and Meinert Hops star Corbin Burnes. Both clubs have been strong on the mound to start 2024 with the Heads ranked 4th in Pitching Scoring while the Hops enter Wednesday ranked 8th. Burnes posted a 30.0 point start in his Orioles debut on Opening Day while Ragans had 15.0.
Update: This game will be delayed due to weather.
Ducks Falling Behind in At-Bats
While it's quite early, one key stat to watch on the offensive side is at-bats as it gives an indication of how many full-time players a club has on their roster. The Ducks are falling behind on that front, posting 226 at-bats thus far compared to the league-leading Clovers who have already had 53 more at 279.
Falcons Eying Top Spot
With Zack Wheeler and Chris Bassitt on the mound Wednesday and a 25.0 deficit over the leading Alamo Short Stacks, GM Gary Falzon has eyes on taking over the RDBL lead. The Falcons have already posted 121.5 points this period behind a pair of outstanding starts from Shota Imanaga and Charlie Morton and a standout week from Maikel Garcia.
