The Cleveland Indians find themselves in first. The age old nemesis is striking at the heart of this team, inability to score. Too many 1-run losses and strings of extra inning games hurts. Defense, as promised, is the best in the league. Getting quality starts but pen is sometimes a mystery. Hitting is very inconsistent.
The Atlanta Braves are currently in second. Defense is not their forte, hitting is. Pitching was holding the team together before the update, now out hitting the other team is paramount.
The Philadelphia Phillies are currently in third. After a disastrous start with the injury bug, they have settled down and is the team Cleveland fears the most. Getting used to the new stadium may be proving difficult however. Fielding has its problems. Hitting is also inconsistent. Pitching has been terrible for the most part.
The New York Mets find themselves in the cellar once again. After a confab, the defense is much better and has helped. Hitting comes in streaks. Pitching is not stellar but comes in streaks also. The starting pitching is young and will continue to get better. Beware, this team is on the rise. With one or two players on offense and and the young pitching staff improving will make this a very formidable opponent in the future.
