Sim 6
#1 -
56-25 --- Minnesota reclaims the top spot and continues to play great ball. Sims 7-10 will determine their true ability to dominate.
#2 -
57-26 --- The Yankees are the clear cut king of the AL East, but their hitting needs to start pulling it's weight a bit more for them to sustain their success.
#3 -
54-28 --- Cleveland is the biggest threat to the Twins, in my opinion. Their starting pitchers can do well behind those very nice leads they are gifted by their offensive comrades. Hopefully their bullpen can keep the pace.
#4 -
51-31 --- Atlanta has been a machine of consistency this year and it has them licking their chops as the NL's top dog. Like some other top teams, their bullpen has let them down some and will be a key factor in their pursuit for October.
#5 -
50-32 --- Philadelphia's pitching started off the year hot and has cooled down a bit since, but being 4th in the league in runs scored should help the worries float away. The need to stay healthy is huge moving forward.
#6 -
48-33 --- The Mets have struggled to score like a championship caliber team and if not for their superb pitching they might be looking like a fire sale candidate. Turning their hitters around in a division as competitive as the NL East will be a daunting task, to say the least.
#7 -
46-35 --- Detroit and the Mets share the same issues. Being listed at #7 and having an offensive ranking of 19th overall is no small feat. In order for them to stay ranked their line up needs to hit batting practice 2 hours early.
#8 -
47-34 --- Washington makes their debut on the rankings with some shutdown pitching. Their line up is slightly underachieving, but should they put it together the Nats will continue to trend upward.
#9 -
45-38 --- Florida also makes the list for the first time this year. They've played pretty solid baseball all around and are a huge darkhorse in the NL, but their bullpen pitchers could stand to play much better.
#10 -
46-36 --- Kansas City has fallen, and it can't get up. Not even life-alert will be able to save them. They have confirmed a fire sale is imminent.
