1. Arizona Diamondbacks - playing the best baseball in the bigs 2. Boston Red Sox -Kevin Youkilis 2nd in the AL with 8 home runs 3. Chicago Cubs -Leads the major leagues in runs scored, scoring close to 6 runs a game 4. Florida Marlins - tied for the best record in the NL and Uggla-Ramirez have been red hot 5. Tampa Bay Rays -Scott Kazmir-James Shields might be the best 1-2 combo in AL Rotations 6. St. Louis Cardinals - Cardinals continue to surprise and impress while Ryan Franklin goes from sucky starter to dominant closer 7. Los Angeles Angels - Figgins could be out for awhile that will hurt them, however if Vlad and GMJ can heat up watch out! 8. Oakland Athletics - Did you know the A's have the best team ERA in baseball? 3.25. 9. Philadelphia Philles -Look for a jump up once Howard comes out of his slump 10. Houston Astros - Lance Berkman is paving his way for MVP: .386 12HR 35RBI 6SB 11. New York Mets - This team can move up by sweeping the Nationals but have been a big disappoitnment thus far this year 12. Atlanta Braves - Struggling to win on the road... 13. Los Angeles Dodgers -Furcal is a monster, he's batting .366 14. Chicago White Sox - Injuries are bound to plague this veteran-loaded team 15. Minnesota Twins -The Twins are playing well but I still don't think they're that good. Last in HR and near the bottom in RBI. I foresee a meltdown and a fall down the AL Central ranks 16. New York Yankees - Waiting for A-Rod and Posada to recover 17. Baltimore Orioles - George Sherrill is a beast with 13 saves relatively quietly 18. Cleveland Indians -Grady Sizemore watch: .282 6HR 20RBI 7SB while this whole team has been disappointing 19. Texas Rangers - Atleast they have Josh Hamilton 20. Milwaukee Brewers - You're breaking my Hart! Ok, that was bad. But seriously... 21. Pittsburgh Pirates - 5 game winning streak, digs this team out of the cellar 22. Toronto Blue Jays - Shaun Marcum is domination 23. Detroit Tigers -2nd in runs scored, but 30th in ERA 24. Kansas City Royals - Rookie of the Year Prediciton: Alex Gordon 25. Colorado Rockies - Aaron Cook is silently turning into an ace, coors field isn't a factor 26. Cincinnatti Reds - Where will they ship Griffey? hmmmm...... 27. San Francisco Giants - I encourage you to vote for Omar Vizquel for the NL All-Stars 28. Seattle Mariners - Just not good 29. Washington Nationals - Better than the M's? I don't think so but atleast Lastings Milledge is ballin' 30. San Diego Padres - Even with Peavey being a dominant starter they are real bad. They can't score runs at all.
