The Helena Hot Pockets suddenly find themselves in first place. Led by Vicente Estrada on offense who leads in Home Runs and RBI's. He does play DH because of his lack of health, which may help some, never know when he might stub his toe rounding the base paths though. He is a very likely candidate for AL MVP honors. Offense however is not just one dimensional as the entire lineup chips in admirably. Defense has a couple GG candidates but weak spot is at SS. The offense and defense must perform as the pitching staff rarely shows up.
The Las Vegas 51s have vaulted into second after a dismal 7 game losing streak. Defense is not exactly a strong point. They lead the league in the long ball however and that is actually a tough feat for a team in Las Vegas. Like their division foes, the pitching rarely shows off but has a couple bright spots.
The Anaheim Angels find themselves in third closely chasing the other two. Defense is solid but has it holes on the far left side. Hitting is a mixed bag but suitable for Anaheim but just haven't been all that great in the home park. Pitching has not been great especially at home.
The Omaha Lancers bring up the rear. Defense is relatively good. Hitting however has been a big let down so far this season. Pitching has looked bad and maybe getting the short end of the stick.
