What happened: MLB Network's Anthony DiComo said he would not rule out Juan Soto reaching 40 home runs and 100 RBI this season, discussing the Mets outfielder's second-half outlook with Adnan Virk. DiComo declined to set a ceiling on Soto's production heading into the stretch run.
Why it matters: The discussion comes just after Soto's fifth career All-Star selection, with the American League beating the National League 4-0 in the exhibition. The Mets will lean on Soto's bat as they navigate the second half of the season.
What to watch: Soto and the Mets resume play in the second half, with his home run and RBI pace to watch against the marks DiComo raised.
