MLB 15 The Show: Diamond Dynasty Ratings Boost Predictions (8/9/15)

[ChaseB]

Another week is wrapping up in Diamond Dynasty as we move into the "winning time" portion of the MLB season. Everybody who swapped teams during the trade deadline has settled in a bit at this point, and the July Topps 50 pack was released over the weekend as well. All that being said, 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

-Jake Arrieta - There are not many pitchers who have done more for their careers this year than Arrieta. I think he's more or less confirmed his status as a top-flight pitcher, and his last update was on 5/4. In the last month, he's got 38 strikeouts over 35 innings pitched to go with a .86 WHIP. He's primed for an update.

-Danny Salazar - I had Salazar in the "medium" category last week, but I feel he's jumped into the "high" category now. He's striking out a batter an inning as of late, and all his peripherals look so much more in line with where they should be now that his home run totals have come down.

-Carlos Correa - I've said enough about Correa at this point. He's a rookie dynamo, and he shouldn't be a Bronze.

-Nelson Cruz - Another player I had in my predictions last week, Nelson Cruz has insane numbers on the year, and even more crazy ones over the last month. He's hitting .385 over the last month to go with 11 home runs. On the season he has a .992 OPS.

Who ever would have thought the Angels drafting Grichuk before Trout was the correct pick?

I will be a little pissed if Correa moves up. I bought 3 of them a couple of weeks ago for 400 or so each and then last night flipped them for 1000 each.

If Correa doesn't move up this week, I am going to lose all faith the the player updates. (Not that I had much anyways). Schwarber could probably be updated too but I doubt it will happen with only 27 games played. Also, Mike Trout should get a power upgrade. His power numbers are pretty low for a guy with 33 hr's already and leading the league. Who the hell could have thought that a 99 overall player could be underrated and ignored.

I expect a lot more to happen tomorrow. We will see though.

Yeah, I can't just keep re-posting my All-Star predictions "big update" article though! I'd be in re-runs for a month now if I did that.

Is that triple stamp confirmed this time? Because I mean this isn't the first time that's been said.
