It may be early, but Red Sox-Cubs is my dream
Boston, Chicago currently baseball's best — let's hope it holds

It's dangerous and probably dumb to draw conclusions about a baseball season
when barely one-third of the games are in the books. But it’s also fun,
especially this year, when it's possible to legitimately dream in June of
what may be the best World Series matchup in memory.
球季已經結束了近三分之一,現在如果要說出結論是相當危險且愚蠢的。但好玩咩,特別
是今年,在六月夏夜晚風時刻坐著合理白日夢想著最夢幻的WS組合。
How does Red Sox-Cubs sound to you? They’re arguably the two best teams in
baseball. My colleague, Tony DeMarco, disagrees. He thinks the Angels are the
cream of the majors. And he may be right; the team that claims two cities as
its hometown is .003 percentage points ahead of Boston in the standings.
紅襪-小熊這組合聽起來怎樣?這兩支球隊是現在來看最棒的兩支球隊。我的伙伴Tony可
不這麼認為。他認為天使才是最棒的。他或許是對的,這支宣稱有兩個城市是它主場的球
隊目前勝率方面以0.003個百分點領先襪子。
But I’ll take the Red Sox and Cubbies because of the way they’re excelling
both in pitching and offense. Right now, the Chicago White Sox belong in that
argument even ahead of the Angels for the same reason.
我選擇小熊和紅襪這組合一定有我的理由,因為他們不論在投手或者進攻方面都是頂尖的
。但目前來說也許大家會爭論說白襪和天使在進攻及投手也有強大的競爭力。
Look at the run differentials for those three teams. Boston is outscoring its
opponents by 1.19 runs per game and the White Sox are scoring 1.30 runs per
game more than they’re giving up. But for sheer dominance, you’ve got to
look no further than the Cubs who are scoring nearly two runs more a game —
1.81 to be exact — than their opponents. Second best in the National League
are the Philadelphia Phillies, whose runs per game are 1.43 higher than their
team earned-run average.
來看看這三支球隊的得分差,胖子一場比賽平均比對手多得1.19分,而白襪則比他們所
丟的分數還要多得1.30分。但若單純看優勢的話,你該看看小雄,平均一場幾乎比對手多
得兩分-正確來說是1.81分。國聯勝分第二多的球隊費城人也才以1.43分高於他們的團隊
平均。(這邊的higher than their team earned-run average指的是哪隊?)
Things can and will change. Last year, the best teams on June 8 were the New
York Mets and Red Sox. The Mets, as their fans are trying to forget, just
missed the playoffs after collapsing down the stretch. But Boston was at year
’s end what they were in June — the best team in the game.
有大仙加持,事情總是會改變。去年六月最棒的兩支球隊是梅子和胖子。梅子的球迷或許
想要把去年給忘掉,他們季末崩盤之後錯失了季後賽機會。但胖子對的表現從六月到球季
結束都是一樣-他們是最棒的球隊。
In the American League last year, the three teams in first place on June 8 —
Cleveland, Boston and Los Angeles — were in first place at the end of the
season. The fourth AL playoff team was the New York Yankees, who were in
second place in the AL East but three games under .500 and far behind in the
wild-card race in June.
去年的美聯,在六月八號排名首位的球隊分別是胖子,笑臉人,天使三隊,他們盤據榜首
一直到球季結束。第四支進入季後賽球隊是洋基,美東第二名,但在六月時候他們還差五
成勝率三場且離外卡還很遙遠。
In the NL, nobody who was in first place on June 8 — the Mets, Milwaukee
Brewers and San Diego Padres — made the playoffs. NL East winner
Philadelphia was six games out behind both the Mets and the Atlanta Braves;
NL Central champion Chicago was five games behind the Brewers. In the NL
West, Arizona was in second, a game behind the Padres, and the Colorado
Rockies were in fourth, 7.5 games behind.
在國聯,六月八號時候沒有人能夠站穩龍頭。梅子,釀酒人,教士-看起來可以進入季後
賽。國聯東區冠軍費城人還以六場落後勇士以及梅子,國聯中區冠軍小熊還以五場落後釀
酒人。國聯西區的小蛇排在第二,落後教士,而落磯則排第四,勝差達到七點五場。
So if you want to argue nothing will change this year, there are numbers to
back you up. And if you want to argue that everything will change, there are
numbers to back that up, too.
所以如果你想考邀說今年的沒有事情會再改變了,這些數據可以替你撐腰。但如果你考邀
說今年還沒結束,任何事情還有變化,也有數據可以替你撐腰。
But there are reasons to believe that the magical matchup between the Red Sox
and Cubs is realistic. Both teams have offenses that should be pretty much
recession-proof and their pitching, while not the best in their leagues, is
close to it.
但小熊和紅襪這個夢個夢幻組合對我而言是有理由去相信會成真的。這兩支球隊的進攻已
經好到不能說了,不需再去證明,而他們的投手,就算不是最好,也差不多了。
我也想看這對戰組合
不過到時候應該會有一堆熊迷出現>.^Y
