Power Rankings

1. (tie) Houston Astros - Astros have been really good as of late. Pitching is really coming around. Everett Hill is having one of the greatest seasons in league history.
Record: 75 - 38
Previous Ranking: 6

1. (tie) St. Louis Barracudas - Biggest surprise of the season thus far. Another team who is really coming on strong. One of the leagues best records over the last 40 or so games.
Record: 75 - 38
Previous Ranking: 5

2. Las Vegas Slobs - Currently on an 8 game winning streak. The Slobs now have an 4 game lead over the Rockies in the AL West.
Record: 70 - 43
Previous Ranking: 9

3. Monterrey Corn Dogs - 12 - 3 over their last 15 games, and only one back of the Goodwill in the AL South.
Record: 70 - 43
Previous Ranking: UR

4. Atlanta Pork N Beans - Offense is starting to come on strong. Starting to feel some pressure from the red hot Indians.
Record: 72 - 41
Previous Ranking: 3

5. Santa Fe Goodwill - Killer lineup, but their pitching is hurting them a bit. Currently 2nd in the league the league in runs scored.
Record: 71 - 42
Previous Ranking: 2

6. (tie) Pittsburgh Pirates - Wow what a great come back. Currently tied with the Cubs in the NL North.
Record: 67 - 46
Previous Ranking: UR

6. (tie) Chicago Cubs - Relatively unimpressive over their past 20 or so games, but still one of the NL's elite teams.
Record: 67 - 46
Previous Ranking: 4

7. Colorado Rockies - Another team with a killer lineup, but mediocre pitching. Leading the league in runs scored.
Record: 66 - 47
Previous Ranking: 8

8. Cleveland Indians - Currently on an impressive 8 game winning streak. The 6 game losing streak earlier in the week hurt their position in the rankings.
Record: 64 - 49
Previous Ranking: 9

9. Milwaukee Brewers - If they manage to win the North it will be the most impressive run in league history (or at least the most impressive I can think of). Currently on a 12 game winning streak and only 5 back in the NL North.
Record: 62 - 51
Previous Ranking: UR

10. Cincinnati Reds - Dropping, but they are a much better team than their current record suggests. Kind of odd to see them 3rd in the standings. Dont be shocked when they reel 20 wins in a row.
Record: 65 - 48
Previous Ranking: 1
