Which MLB teams are in trouble after the trade deadline?

The MLB season is down to the final 55 games for all 30 teams. The last two months of the season have become a sprint for contention. MLB Teams like the Chicago White Sox, New York Mets, Pittsburgh Pirates and St Louis Cardinals have waived the white flag on their seasons. The wild card race for both the American League and National League has gotten very interesting. The Tampa Bay Rays, Toronto Blue Jays and Houston Astros have showed signs of being in full control of their wild card spots. That can’t be said about various teams in the National League. The Miami Marlins, Arizona Diamondbacks and Cincinnati Reds are seeing their seasons spiral out of control. All three teams were 10 or more games over .500 during the month of July. The winning records have changed heavily since after the All Star break. The Marlins were 14 games over .500 at the All Star break. They are now just 4 games over .500. The Diamondbacks were once 16 games over .500 on July 1st. After tonight’s loss, they are only 2 games over .500. Lastly the Cincinnati Reds were 10 games over .500 heading into August. They are currently in the midst of a 5 games losing streak. Inconsistent hitting and pitching have derailed these three teams. The remaining schedules for these teams are not getting easier. Each team’s trade deadline move made may not be enought to make the playoffs. Can these disappointing ball clubs climb out of these bad ruts? Will these MLB teams finish below .500 after having hot starts? The trade deadline was less than a week ago but these post trade deadline results tell a interesting story about the difference in first and second season halfs.
