1. Chicago Cubs

Last week: #1

The Cubs just keep on rolling. Plus, have you seen what Ben Zobrist did in the month of May? Wow.

2. Boston Red Sox

Last week: #2

David Ortiz is killing it in his final season. Mookie Betts had himself a day on Tuesday. He is the 1st player in Red Sox history to have a 3-HR game out of the leadoff spot. Also Xander Bogaerts keeps his hitting streak alive.

3. San Francisco Giants

Last week: #3

The Giants finished May with a 21-8 record. It’s still early but hey it is an even year, isn’t it?

4. Pittsburgh Pirates

Last week: N/A

Gregory Polanco’s bat has been hot and he’s transforming into a superstar.

5. New York Mets

Last week: #7

The Mets hit a lot of home runs, but they struggle to score when they don’t.

6. Washington Nationals

Last week: #5

Daniel Murphy is proving to be a real steal for the Nationals. His first two months in Washington have been great.

7. Seattle Mariners

Last week: #9

Have you seen this Seattle offense? They’re on fire. Hopefully Felix Hernandez being on the 15 day-DL won’t hurt them.

8. Cleveland Indians

Last week: #8

Cleveland took 3-of-4 against their division rival White Sox. Plus, they’re not too far behind Chicago and Kansas City for 1^st place in the AL Central.

9. Texas Rangers

Last week: N/A

Yu Darvish is back! Enough said.

10. Baltimore Orioles

Last week: #4

Baltimore batters are in the top 10 in strikeout percentage. If J.J. Hardy returns this month, he should be able to help them out.

 

Left off the list this week:

Chicago White Sox (Last week: #6)

The White Sox fell right off my list and out of 1^st place in the AL Central. On Saturday, they blew a 7-1 lead in the ninth and they were on a losing streak until Tuesday.

St. Louis Cardinals (Last week: #10)

End of May: Adam Wainwright 5.71 ERA, Michael Wacha 4.99 ERA, Carlos Martinez 4.25 ERA.
