1. Houston Astros - The Astros have been playing extremely well. Last week they managed to sweep the season 7 champion Cubs and the Reds. The team continues to be plagued by injuries to their top players. Last season the Astros were knocked out of playoff contention after several injuries. Already they have lost 1B Rocky Spencer.
2. Monterrey Corn Dogs - The Corn Dogs continue to grow stronger every season, so its not surprise to see them in the number 2 spot. The CDs pitching and hitting has been solid this season. They have the lowest team era in the AL, and the highest team BA in the AL.
3. Pittsburgh Pirates - Big surprise to see the Pirates in the top 3. They have been outstanding over the first week of the season. They swept last seasons NL East champs in a four game series to open up the season.
4. Louisville Swingers - The Swingers offense looks to be as good if not better than last season. Pitching was inconsistent last season, but this season its looks they have turned it around. If there pitching continues to be this good, look for them to be at the top very soon.
5. Detroit Detroit - Another big surprise at the number 5 spot. New owner John Plotts looks like he has turned around the former Twins/Gingers. Detroit has tough schedule coming up this week that should really test this team. They have series against the Corn Dogs, Yankees, and Deuce Droppers to look forward to.
6. Cincinnati Reds - The Reds at number 6? Is the world coming to an end? 20 games in and the Reds look relatively mortal this season. There dominant pitching of past seasons has been relatively average this season. Its only a matter of time though before the Reds begin to dominate the NL again as in seasons past. Reds ace Yamil Pulido is on track for a fourth CY Young.
7. Nashville Marlins - The Marlins changed hands this off-season. Hartjh has the team playing well. The recently took 2 of 3 against the Swingers and Astros, but lost 2 of 3 against the Pork N Beans.
8. Boston Red Sox - Another early season surprise. Speedo33 has done an excellent job of turning around this franchise. There upcoming schedule is going to be rough with series against the Multiple Spouses, Detroit, Slobs, Dirt Bags, and Blue Jays.
9. Austin Deuce Droppers - Last seasons AL champs are off to a decent start. They have been plagued with inconsistent starting pitching this season. Their offense has been solid though. If the pitching improves expect them to move up in the rankings.
10. San Diego Dirt Bags - Another team that has shocked a lot of people in the league. Looks like Thomas has turned this team around. They currently have a slim 1 game lead in what looks like a rejuvenated AL West. If their pitching holds up they may be a team heading to the playoffs.
