1 (3) Louisville Swingers - Although the Swingers don't have the leagues best record they have been the leagues best team over the past week. They have benefited from a relatively weak schedule this past week. The Swingers starting rotation has been stellar all season. Possibly the best rotation in the league this season, but their bullpen has been unspectacular. The Swingers have a relatively comfortable 12 games lead over the Astros in the NL South.
2 (1) Cincinnati Reds - The loss of Midre Davis could have a significant impact on the Reds season. Before his injury he was one the leagues best starting pitchers. The Reds have a 10 game lead over the Cubs in the NL North.
3 (2) Las Vegas Slobs - The Slobs should be the favorite to win the AL again this season. They have a ton of power in their lineup. They are leading the AL in homeruns. At 35 years old Bryan McDowell should be the favorite to win his 6th consecutive fireman of the year award. The Slobs have a 7 game lead over the Royals in the AL West.
4 (6) Monterrey Corn Dogs - The Corn Dogs have quite possibly the most potent line up in the league. Ariel Serra, Jumbo Rivera, and Wascar Martinez (plus several others) all have good power. Add in speedy Yorvit Veras and you have team that can score some runs. The CDs will be one of the leagues best teams for several seasons to come. They currently have a 9 game lead over the Deuce Droppers in the AL South.
5 (5) Chicago Cubs - The Cubs are 12 back of the Reds but with return of Tony Suarez in 6 days and the Reds loss of Midre don't be surprised if they dont make run at the NL North title.
6 (NR) New York Yankees - The Yankees have done a great job of turning things around after a decent but unspectacular season 8. The Yankees have a virtual lock on the AL East with a 19 game lead over the Dung Beetles.
7 (8) Austin Deuce Droppers - The Deuce Droppers have been really good over the past week. They swept Detroit in an important 4 game series. They are currently 4 back of the Royals and 6 ahead of Detroit in the Wild Card standings.
8 (4) - Kansas City Royals - The Royals continue to impress. They may have fallen off a bit in the rankings, but they continue to be one of the AL's elite teams. They currently have a 4 game lead over the Deuce Droppers in the Wild Card standings.
9 (NR) Atlanta Pork N Beans - Im biased since this is my team and I know several teams have a slightly better record, but the PnBs have earned this spot. Their play over the past week has been stellar. Overall the PnBs rotation is weak, and defense mediocre, but they do have a solid bullpen and a lot of power in their line up. They currently have a 10 game lead over the Indians in the NL East.
10 (7) - Houston Astros - The Astros have a great opportunity to make the playoffs for the 1st time in franchise history, but they need to step it up. The Cubs (or Reds) are a virtual lock for one of the twoWild Card spots, the other will most likely go to the Astros, Brewers or Beach Boys. At this point any one of those 3 teams could win it.
Dropped Out:
Brewers, Beach Boys
