Weekly Standings Check in

Starting at Home in the AL East
The Yankees are still leading the division and the Red Sox are still dwelling at the bottom. Not including their matchup against Jared Weaver (6-0),Boston's got a relatively easy week with the Angels and the Twins, so they should climb into at least 3rd spot in the division by this time next week. So now's probably the last time we can say that the Jays are ahead of the Red Sox in the standings... Tampa's turned their season around and Baltimore's meeting all expectations by playing .500 baseball.

The Rest of the Baseball World

In the AL Central, Cleveland and Kansas City are still leading the AL Central. I'm too lazy to check the prospect ranking, but my hunch is that the Indians and the Royals have 2 of the best farm systems in all of baseball and it's paying off for them sooner than everyone expected. Also, Minnesota looks to be in deep trouble, they're digging a deeper and deeper hole down at the bottom of the division with a 6 game losing streak.

The Al West is pretty tight, with the Angels and Rangers tied for the lead. As expected, Seattle is last, and Oakland is hovering at .500.

In the NL, everything's predictable as usual. The Phillies, Cardinals and Rockies are leading their division, while the Mets, Astros and Padres are sitting comfortably at the bottom of their respective divisions. The only surprise right now is that the Marlins are currently leading the Wild Card race.
