1.	**New York Yankees 42-18:** Yankees lost another starter when Tanaka tried to score from third and hurt both hamstrings.
2.    **Boston Red Sox 44-22:** BoSox lost 2 of 3 to the ChiSox. Not a series you can lose when trying to overtake the division.	
3.	**Milwaukee Brewers 39-26:** Brewers are just 4 and 6 since Davies hit the DL.
4.	**Seattle Mariners 41-24:** 7-2 in June so far.
5.	**Houston Astros 41-25:** Correa is expected back this week after missing 4 straight games.
6.	**Atlanta Braves 37-27:** Washington has finally caught up to the baby Braves but that doesn't diminish their accomplishments.
7.	**Philadelphia Phillies 33-30:** The Phillies still need to do better than 10-15 in the NL East if they want to compete. 
8.	**Chicago Cubs 37-25:** The Cubbies have hit their stride winning 11 of the last 14 games.
9.	**Washington Nationals 36-26:** As Daniel Murphy is about to return, Strasburg lands on the DL.
10.	**St. Louis Cardinals 35-28:** Cards got some bad news this week as rookie phenom Alex Reyes was lost for the year.
11.	**Los Angeles Angels 37-29:** Angels are worried that Ohtani might need Tommy John surgery. It'd mean another wasted year in Trout's prime. 
12.	**Colorado Rockies 32-32:** Swept by the surging Dodgers and division leading D-backs this week. Not good.
13.	**Oakland Athletics 33-32:** Just a tough team to figure out.
14.	**Tampa Bay Rays 29-35:** Had lost 8 straight before Saturday's win. 1-9 in the last 10.
15.	**Arizona D-Backs 34-29:** They still lead the NL West and Goldschmidt is getting back to being an MVP candidate.
16.	**Cleveland Indians 34-29:** 16-9 versus the putrid Central and 18-20 versus everyone else.
17.	**Pittsburgh Pirates 32-33:** The offseason sell off is finally starting to take it's toll on the team.
18.	**San Francisco Giants 32-32:** Madbum's return is a huge boost.
19.	**Los Angeles Dodgers 32-32:** The Dodgers are horrible at keeping starters healthy. Ryu, Hill, Kershaw, and Santana are all on the DL with Buehler ready to join in. 
20.	**New York Mets 27-34:** deGrom is the only reason to watch the Mets and he might be on the Yankees soon.
21.	**Detroit Tigers 31-36:** Holding their own for a team with a lot of underperforming high priced players.	
22.   **Minnesota Twins 28-34:** Bryon Buxton continually disappoints. 
23.	**San Diego Padres 31-36:** Padres nearly had another no hitter this week. Really trying hard for that franchises first.
24.	**Toronto Blue Jays 30-35:** Vlad Jr. Watch is officially on hold since he will miss the next 4 weeks with a knee injury.
25.	**Texas Rangers 27-40:** Gallo is the prototype for what's wrong with the MLB today.
26.	**Miami Marlins 23-42:** 3-3 this week after a 1-9 streak.
27.	**Cincinnati Reds 23-43:** Reds beat the Cards for the first time in 14 tries this weekend.
28.	**Kansas City Royals 22-43:** Lost 7 of the past 9. The bottom teams are getting worse.
29.	**Chicago White Sox 22-41:** A good week for the ChiSox after taking 2 of 3 from both the Red Sox and Brewers.
30.	**Baltimore Orioles 19-45:** Of 150 teams MLB and MiLB teams, only one has a record under .300...
The 19-45 Baltimore Orioles (.297).
