Charlotte, Miami and the Los Angeles Clippers all had winning records but didn't qualify. This has only happened in 1971 and 2022 before. Miami's coach, Erik Spoelstra, noted the difference from his first year when 43 wins secured a fifth seed.
Angels ace José Soriano has an 0.28 ERA, 39 Ks after 5 phenomenal starts to begin the season
In just five starts, José Soriano’s season with the Los Angeles Angels has gone from good to great to historic. Soriano pitched two-hit ball into the sixth inning of the Angels’ 8-0 victory over the Padres, ending San Diego’s eight-game winning streak with yet another dominant outing by Los Angeles’ right-handed Dominican ace. Soriano has an ERA of 0.28 after allowing just one run in his first 32 2/3 innings this season.
