MLB 15 The Show: Diamond Dynasty Ratings Boost Predictions (8/2/15)

[ChaseB]

Another week is wrapping up in Diamond Dynasty. It was obviously a busy one with the trade deadline coming and going. The Trades & Rumors pack was released to coincide with the end of the deadline, but it did not have a major impact on the market. With that in mind, it's time to look ahead once again and try to predict who might be getting a ratings boost on Monday morning.

I'll be breaking the predictions into tiers based on my own confidence level.

Ratings Boost Probability: High

-Carlos Gonzalez - Carlos Gonzalez was horrendous for much of the start of the season, but he's making up for lost time. He's got 11 home runs in the last month and his OPS is up to .853 on the season. He was downgraded on 6/15 but maybe it's finally time to return some of his lost ratings.

-Mark Teixeira - He has 28 home runs on the season, which includes nine in the last month. Teixeira has just had a really awesome return to form this year.

-Carlos Correa - Here's my weekly reminder that Carlos Correa is still only 20 years old. He's got 12 home runs in his first 184 at-bats. He's really good.

-Scott Kazmir - His ERA is down to 2.10 on the season, and he's basically been untouchable for the past month. It's time to finally make Kazmir a Gold.

-Mike Leake - I'm all about the post-being-traded bump. It also doesn't hurt that Leake heads to the Giants with a WHIP of .83 over the last month.

What about George Kontos? He has a 1.62 ERA in 50 IP and he is only a 73.

I'm down with it, but middle relievers don't tend to get much love in the updates. And it wouldn't get you many Stubs either way.

Part of me still hopes that big update happens even though I know it won't. Cargo needs to become a gold again. He deserved to lose it but now he deserves to go back since his slump is over.

Yeah I mean I hope it does too, but this is the first week I went back to a "normal" update and stopped holding on to hope of the massive amount of predictions I made close to a month ago at this point.

What are the odds that Bogaerts is updated? 77 seems pretty low for a guy who is hitting .320 and is good with the glove.

I agree completely...he should have been an AS this year. **** Brock Holt and his utility ability. Also wouldn't be surprised if that huge update this week.
