Another good week vaults the Cardinals to the top of the heap. The Rays, Orioles, and Mariners also moved up a few spots, while the White Sox had the largest drop.
Just as a reminder: some of the things that go into these rankings include runs scored and allowed, run distributions, wOBA, wRC, FIP, xFIP, DRS, UZR, etc., Base Runs, BABIP and HR/FB% adjustments, and our guts.
| Rank | Team | Wins | Losses | Comments |
| 1 | Cardinals | 16 | 11 |
Albert Pujols is 5th on the team on wOBA. And they're still scoring 5.3 runs per game and have the league's best offense. |
| 2 | Rangers | 16 | 11 | Beyond their power displays, the Rangers are also striking out less than any team in the majors. |
| 3 | Yankees | 15 | 9 | Any other good starter from 2005 want to join Bartolo Colon and Freddy Garcia in getting lots of run support in New York? |
| 4 | Rockies | 17 | 8 | Just wait until Ubaldo Jimenez gets going - the Rockies might actually pass the Phillies in the pitching department. |
| 5 | Phillies | 18 | 8 |
Roy Oswalt's xFIP is at 3.53, making him the team's #5 starter so far this year. That's pretty gross. |
| 6 | Indians | 18 | 8 | The starters have been surprisingly effective; if that continues, they'll have a legit shot at the division title. |
| 7 | Brewers | 13 | 13 | Ryan Braun mashing - with assists from Rickie Weeks & Prince Fielder - and Zack Greinke is coming back. |
| 8 | Athletics | 13 | 14 |
Coco Crisp has been the team's best hitter so far among qualified batters. The offense will pick up, and the A's may take off. |
| 9 | Reds | 14 | 13 | The Reds have scored the second most runs in the NL despite only a 107 wRC+ on offense. |
| 10 | Marlins | 16 | 9 | Once Josh Johnson's BABIP and HR/FB% against regress towards the mean, his ERA might actually go over 1.00. |
| 11 | Blue Jays | 13 | 14 |
Jose Bautista has been great, but so has Ricky Romero despite the 2-3 record (he's 5th in the league with a 3.02 xFIP). |
| 12 | Royals | 14 | 13 |
Jeff Francoeur is on pace to tie his career high in walks and set a new high in home runs. Yeah, "on pace". But still. |
| 13 | Red Sox | 11 | 15 |
Carl Crawford's struggles have gotten the headlines, but Adrian Gonzalez has just as many home runs (one). |
| 14 | Braves | 13 | 15 |
Jason Heyward has produced despite a low BABIP; the rest of the team, not so much. |
| 15 | Angels | 15 | 12 | When you add in Ervin Santana (3.39 FIP), can anyone in the AL stand up with the Angels' top three starters? |
| 16 | Rays | 15 | 12 | The Rays lead the league in UZR and DRS, and Evan Longoria is back to help keep it that way. |
| 17 | Giants | 13 | 13 |
Aubrey Huff and Miguel Tejada aren't hitting at all, which raises the question of how long SF will put up with their "defense". |
| 18 | Tigers | 12 | 15 |
Austin Jackson's BABIP has fallen over 100 points since 2010. Magglio Ordonez's too, leaving both below replacement level so far. |
| 19 | Diamondbacks | 11 | 15 | Arizona's pitchers' xFIP is about a full run better than their ERA - that's a lot of extra runs allowed. |
| 20 | Dodgers | 14 | 14 | Even with Andre Ethier's hitting streak, the Dodgers are not doing all that much offensively overall. |
| 21 | Cubs | 12 | 14 | Someone other than Matt Garza will need to start pitching well eventually, though Carlos Zambrano has been fine (despite his ERA). |
| 22 | Orioles | 12 | 13 | The offense was suffered from a low BABIP, but they also have the AL's lowest walk rate. Countering both is Robert Andino. Really. |
| 23 | Mets | 11 | 16 | Chris Young is leading the team in brWAR (all players), with a 1.88 ERA. Thanks, .155 BABIP against! |
| 24 | Mariners | 13 | 15 | The Cliff Lee trade isn't looking so bad now, with Justin Smoak putting up an OPS close to .900. |
| 25 | Padres | 10 | 17 |
Tim Stauffer and Dustin Moseley are a combined 1-4 in 12 starts despite an ERA of about 2.33. Run support please. |
| 26 | Nationals | 12 | 14 | Washington's pitching staff has actually performed not that dis-similarly from Tampa Bay's so far. |
| 27 | White Sox | 10 | 18 |
Adam Dunn has as many home runs as Brent Lillibridge. That is not what Chicago expected for $56 M, I think. |
| 28 | Astros | 10 | 17 |
Brett Wallace has as many stolen bases as home runs (1). Plus a batting average close to .400 (and a BABIP close to .500). |
| 29 | Pirates | 12 | 15 | Reliever Chris Resop is leading the pitching staff in brWAR. It's more than wiped out by James McDonald negative brWAR, though. |
| 30 | Twins | 9 | 17 |
Alfonso Soriano and Ryan Braun are tied for the majors league lead in home runs. The Twins (combined) are just ahead of them. |
