Last season Maye threw for 4,394 yards, 31 touchdowns, and only 8 interceptions, per Pro Football Reference. His PFF grade came out at 90.1, which puts him in the conversation with the best…

With the playoffs expanded to six teams, it’s not surprising for the final spot to go to a team near .500. Just last year, the Cincinnati Reds won a tiebreaker over the New York Mets to grab the final spot at 83-79. In the good old days (before 2022), the San Diego Padres would have had the final spot at 90-72. The 88-90 win range just feels like an appropriate cutoff. Back in May, Matt outlined why the sixth playoff spot is “an abomination” and why the Red Sox were still very much in the playoff race.Since May 21st, when…
