Brewers - Easily the biggest disappointment of the season. Currently their dead last in BA and toward the bottom in ERA. This is a much better team than their record shows. The Brewers have some serious offensive talent, so the likelihood of them turning things around is pretty good. One look at some of these guys stats will tell you why their playing so poorly: Ramon Dong, Hector Ramirez, Matthew Hollins, Gregg Presley, Jumbo Benitez.
Cubs - Last seasons WS champs are again off to slow start. This is exactly how they started off last season. Jose shouldn't be too concerned, last season they were dominant after the all-star game and throughout the playoffs.
Yankees - 7 time AL East champs are 4 games back of their rivals the Red Sox. Last season at this point in the season they were hottest team in the league. The Yankees hitting looks solid, but their pitching has been disappointing. Some of their young pitchers like Aramis Oliva and Benito Lima will need to improve if they want to division win title #8.
Toronto Blue Jays - The Blue Jays are currently 5 games back of Detroit in the AL North. The Jays hitting and pitching has been been ok, but their struggling to consistently produce runs. Willis Ulrich struggles have really hurt the Jays this season.
