Power Rankings

1. Cincinnati Reds - Reds have had a tough week with series against the Barracudas, Twins, Astros, and Pirates. The Reds still have the best record and pitching in the league. Their team era is a stellar 3.29.
Previous Ranking: 2
Record: 56 - 28

2. Houston Astros - The Astros were on their way to the number one spot until they met up with the Larrupin Lous. This week they managed to take 2 of 3 against the Deuce Droppers, 3 of 4 against the Reds, and swept the Cubs in a 3 games series. The Lous 3 game sweep of the Astros knocked them into the number 2 spot in the rankings.
Previous Ranking: 4
Record: 53 - 31

3. Monterrey Corn Dogs - The Dogs had one of the tougher inter-league schedules with series against the Swingers, Marlins, and Astros. The Dogs managed to win each one of those series 2 games to 3. They are now tied with Deuce Droppers for the top spot in the AL South.
Previous Ranking: 5
Record: 53 - 31

4. Austin Deuce Droppers - The DDs also had a tough inter-league schedule with series against the Swingers, Marlins, and Astros. They managed a 5 and 4 record against those 3 teams. The DDs also recently swept the Twins in a 3 games series.
Previous Ranking: 3
Record: 53 - 31

5. Florida Marlins - The Marlins were having a tough week. They turned around it around later in the week by taking 2 of 3 against the Pirates and sweeping the Cubs in a 3 game series. They have a 4 game series against the Reds to look forward to starting tomorrow.
Previous Ranking: 1
Record: 54 - 30

6. Louisville Swingers - The Swingers are the 3rd NL South team in the rankings. The Swingers are currently 3 games behind the Marlins in the South. The Swingers were on their way to finishing this week off strong until their 2 consecutive losses to the Sharks.
Previous Ranking: 8
Record: 51 - 33

7. Chicago Cubs - The Cubs started off the week strong by sweeping the Twins and taking 2 of 3 against the Barracudas, Blue Jays, Multiple Spouses, and Marlins. Unfortunately the rest of the week wasn't as friendly, they were swept by the Astros and Marlins. I expect the Cubs will turn it around and battle the Reds for the top spot in the NL North.
Previous Ranking: 6
Record: 50 - 34

8. Milwaukee Brewers - The Brewers young team has been struggling as of late. Inter-League play was brutal on the Brewers. They lost series against the Blue Jays, Multiple Spouses, Twins and Barracudas. Regardless of the Brewers recent struggles they have an impressive record for such a young team.
Previous Ranking: 7
Record: 48 - 36

9. New York Yankees - After starting the season strong the Yankees have struggled as of late. It looks like the Yankees struggles may be over. They have won 7 of their last 8 games including a sweep of the Multiple Spouses.
Previous Ranking: Unranked
Record: 47 - 37

10. Minnesota Twins - The Twins seem to be struggling with consistency. This week they managed to sweep the Brewers, and Rangers. They also took 2 of 3 against the Reds. On the flip side they were swept by the Deuce Droppers, and Rangers. They are currently leading the AL North, but it looks like it will be a tough battle for the division with the 4th place Barracudas only 3 games back.
Previous Ranking: 10
Record: 47 - 37
