With eight games left before the All-Star break, Buies Creeks' elimination number for the first half stands at six. It's not impossible for them to win the first half but it's not likely if they have any more four-game losing streaks as they recently did in early June.
The BC Astros had been extremely dominant to start the season and only recently tailed off (and fell out of first place), going 3-7 since the promotions of Kyle Tucker and Jason Martin to Corpus Christi. The good news is that the mid-May promotions of C Jake Rogers (.347/.440/.613) and 3B Randy Cesar (.273/.324/.318) are starting to pay off and the more recent addition of OF Stephen Wrenn and IF Alex De Goti should help as well.
Similarly, the contributions of RHP Akeem Bostick and LHP Alex Winkelman have been missed since their promotions to Corpus Christi. RHP Hector Perez has had decent success since his late April promotion to Buies Creek, but LHP Brett Adcock and LHP Ryan Hartman have yet to replicate their success at the lower level at this point (although I expect both of the lefties to start catching up to their competition soon). And top prospect RHP Franklin Perez (3.00 ERA/0.750 WHIP), who has only made six appearances so far this season, will leave his stamp on the team as he presumably gets more playing time.
The BC Astros should continue to stabilize and improve as some of the newer players get their feet under them so I fully expect them to remain in contention for the foreseeable future. However, the Astros will likely continue to challenge players to higher levels of competition and Buies Creek will see a lot of movement later this summer as the newly drafted players start to push their elders up or out.

The tailing off should hardly be unexpected given their schedule to date has them playing two-thirds of their games on the road
