Morning y’all.

Welcome to another edition of Nosebleed Sports Power Rankings 📈 

If you missed last Wednesday’s edition on how we develop our rankings, you can read that here if you are interested.

Today, we have golf, MLB, and F1 rankings for your reading pleasure.

Let’s get right into it.

Scottie Scheffler leads the pack heading into the 2023 Open Championship ⛳️ 

NBS Insights🩸 

• Scottie Scheffler is the best player in the world right now.

• Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, and Patrick Cantlay are the clear 2-4.

• Rickie Fowler is the biggest discrepancy in our Top 15, with his OWGR being 13 spots worse than his DataGolf rank… is his current play being underrated?

• On the other side of that equation, has Max Homa been overrated by the OWGR system?

The Atlanta Braves are the standard for the rest of the MLB ⚾️ 

NBS Insights🩸

• The Braves and Rays are still the class of the MLB, but the Rays have struggled as of late—losing 7 of their last 10 and now only hold a one game lead in the AL East.

• The Rangers, Blue Jays, Dodgers, Astros, and Orioles are all serious World Series contenders.

• The Yankees as of late… 📉 💩 🗑️ 

  • 3-7 in their last 10 games and are now in sole possession of last place in the AL East.

Updated F1 driver rankings following the British GP 🏎️ 

Y’all are going to yell at me for this one…

Please note that these rankings are based on driver performance independent of machinery. Essentially, who is getting the most out of their racing car.

NBS Insights🩸 

• Albon has been ripping in the Williams as of late, with two point scoring performances and an 11th place finish in the last three races.

• Verstappen continues to dominate—best driver in the best car (by far) and this is the result you get.

• Lando and McLaren are trending up quickly—can they make a run for #2 in the Constructors Championship?

• If Perez continues to be mid in the Red Bull will the team begin to search for a new driver?

Hope your time in The Nosebleeds🩸 was short and sweet today!

Farewell until Friday.
