1 Dodgers They will spend a lot of time here. Unless the giants do. 4 7-2 2 Giants Carlos Rodon has 21 outs in 12 innings. His living talented hand in the hands of the Giants’ wizards is a terrible combination. 7 7-2 3 Mets How is this Francisco Lindor recovery campaign going? Well, he’s over .600 with a .442 base percentage, two doubles, three homers, seven RBIs, nine runs and two thefts in 10 games. I would say loud to pretty strong. 5 7-3 4 Blue Jays Very good, decent amount not so good and winning at 60 percent clip (which is a tempo of 97 wins, for reference). This is almost correct. 2 6-4 5 White Sox Bad weather, huh? The White Sox did nothing on their own to drop a place, but three teams overtook them, while only two dropped out. 1 6-3 6 Astros Justin Verlander made eight zero innings in his second start from Tommy John’s operation and looked like an ace before the operation. Remarkable. 3 5-4 7 Cardinals The early return of the new, for the first time, the youngest in MLB manager Oliver Marmol is quite positive. He seems to feel good about using the fur and when to pull the trigger with his bench. I’m a fan. 6 5-3 8 Braves Ronald Akunya Jr. begins a rehabilitation task in the minor leagues on Tuesday. Yes, they are about to get back one of the best baseball players. It’s worth a few bonus points here. 2 5-6 9 Angels This is 5-1 week and now they will get another chance to the mighty Astros. 14 6-4 10 Sailors Look, there are no excuses in the standings, but between the seven matches on the road and the cold, rainy weather and the mixed several daily matches, the Sailors had a difficult start to the season. They went home and took two of three from Astros and both wins were definite instead of one-run lists. There is reason for optimism. 4 5-5 11 Padres They lost four out of five at one point, but overall 3-4 against Braves and Giants is not a failure. They have to deal with the Reds here in three players before they see how they cope at home against the Dodgers. – 6-5 12 Rays They lost five out of six after ranking them number one last week. Nothing if I’m not responsible: it was my fault and I’m sorry, Rays fans. 11 5-5 13 Christian Jelic’s Brewers speed readings look good and all, but if you really watch him hit, much of it is powered by solid grounding right in the shift. It doesn’t look scary at all anymore. He hits .200 with .300 dunk so far. They need much more from him to make this crime work. 1 5-5 14 Yankees The Yankees have averaged just three runs per game and have just missed two of the Orioles’ three. 7 5-5 15 Red Sox Over .500 for the first time and now big – at least as big as it can be in mid-April – a series with Jace, after their meeting on Monday morning for Patriot Day, that is – 5 -4 16 Cubs It’s hard to get used to after the makeup of the attack, given how it looked in the last few years, but Cubs are * very * different. They are among the best teams in the league in terms of average level of shots, percentage of base and contact. They also don’t hit a lot of home runs and hit a lot of balls – which means they’re leading the major doubles games on the ground. – 5-4 17 The Rockies Connor Joe was selected in 2014 by the college, went on to major in 2019 for eight games, battled cancer, played in only 63 games last season and now hits the Rockies every day mountains. So far it hits .361 / .465 / .667. Fun and suffocation is quite a combination. – 6-3 18 Guardians This is the early nominee for attacking Jekyll and Hyde for the season. The Guardians scored five runs combined in their five losses. In their four victories, they scored 44 runs. 7 4-5 19 Marlins An interesting week is coming here. The Marlins certainly seem to have the potential to break through. They have won three of four and three of their losses so far have been in one series – two were discrepancies. They will receive the Cardinals for three games at home before heading to Atlanta for three. Keep your eyes off this one. 1 4-5 20 Phillies They lost five of six and overall looked pretty awful. Just remember it’s still early, Phillies fans. 10 4-6 …
