| RK | LW RANK | TEAM | REC | COMMENT | |
![]() | 1 | 3 | Red Sox | 46-25 | Big Papi (.449) is second only to Magglio Ordonez in on-base percentage in the American League. |
![]() | 2 | 1 | Angels | 46-27 | Meet the catalyst. Chone Figgins (.295 BA) has raised his average more than 100 points since June 1. |
![]() | 3 | 4 | Tigers | 42-29 | Kenny Rogers returns to the rotation, and if he stays healthy and on schedule, the veteran left-hander could make at least 17 starts this season. |
![]() | 4 | 2 | Padres | 41-30 | Cold front. The Padres have lost five of six at home after winning 20 of their first 29 games at Petco Park. |
![]() | 5 | 6 | Athletics | 39-32 | Travis Buck is coming into his own. The rookie's .873 OPS ranks fourth among first-year players. |
![]() | 6 | 5 | Indians | 42-29 | Travis Hafner, batting just .200 in June, has not homered since May 31. He ranks fifth on the team in total bases with 104. |
![]() | 7 | 7 | Dodgers | 41-31 | Chad Billingsley is ready to step up as a starter. Opponents are hitting only .215 against him. |
![]() | 8 | 12 | Diamondbacks | 42-31 | Time to feast? The D-backs have 17 games left before the break, and nine are against last-place teams. |
![]() | 9 | 14 | Brewers | 41-31 | Corey Hart has been fantastic in the leadoff spot, batting .343 with six homers, 16 runs and 13 RBIs in 16 games. |
![]() | 10 | 13 | Twins | 36-34 | Justin Morneau's average and on-base percentage are down from last year, but his home run production is up. He's on pace to hit 46, a dozen more than '06. |
![]() | 11 | 10 | Yankees | 35-35 | Is there a market for Johnny Damon out there? If so, you would think the Yanks would love to get rid of him. |
![]() | 12 | 9 | Mets | 38-32 | Carlos Beltran has just one extra-base hit (a double) in his last 59 at-bats. |
![]() | 13 | 8 | Mariners | 37-32 | Opportunity knocks for Ryan Feierabend. The M's hope the 21-year-old lefty can deliver on all his promise. |
![]() | 14 | 16 | Rockies | 38-34 | The Rockies are charging hard. Credit their offense (.300 BA and .360 OBP in June) with the surge. |
![]() | 15 | 11 | Phillies | 37-35 | Cole Hamels is on pace to throw 225 innings this season after throwing just 132 1/3 innings in 2006. |
![]() | 16 | 15 | Cubs | 32-39 | Gotta win the close ones. The Cubs are 7-15 in one-run games (they have won five of their last seven) and 13-22 in games decided by two runs or less. |
![]() | 17 | 18 | Braves | 38-35 | Tim Hudson is a woeful 1-4 with a 6.23 ERA in his last seven starts. |
![]() | 18 | 20 | Blue Jays | 34-37 | Shaun Marcum is unbeaten in eight starts (3-0), and has an impressive 2.46 ERA in that span. |
![]() | 19 | 17 | Marlins | 35-38 | Right-handed batters are hitting a whopping .325 against Dontrelle Willis. |
![]() | 20 | 24 | Cardinals | 32-37 | So Taguchi has boosted his average from .247 to .309 during his career-best 13-game hitting streak. |
![]() | 21 | 25 | Pirates | 31-41 | Ian Snell has been hot, perhaps too hot. Snell had given up just three earned runs in his last three starts (24 innings) before that cooking mishap. |
![]() | 22 | 28 | Astros | 31-41 | Mike Lamb has produced four of his six homers and 15 of his 20 RBI this month alone. |
![]() | 23 | 26 | Royals | 29-44 | The Royals have scored the second-most runs in the AL Central in June, averaging 5.6 per game. |
![]() | 24 | 23 | Orioles | 31-41 | The thought that the Orioles are considering bringing back Davey Johnson to be their manager is ridiculous. |
![]() | 25 | 22 | Devil Rays | 31-39 | When will the Rays call an end to Edwin Jackson (0-8, 7.85 in 13 starts) as a starting pitcher? |
![]() | 26 | 19 | Giants | 30-41 | If the Giants don't turn things around in a hurry, they will be big sellers come July. |
![]() | 27 | 21 | Nationals | 30-42 | Shock of the season: Cristian Guzman has a .382 on-base percentage. |
![]() | 28 | 30 | Rangers | 28-44 | Too bad the Rangers can't battle NL teams more often. They are 9-6 in interleague play. |
![]() | 29 | 29 | White Sox | 29-39 | The White Sox don't appear to be buying into whatever Ozzie Guillen has been saying. June numbers: five wins in 19 games, 5.05 staff ERA, .240 BA. |
![]() | 30 | 27 | Reds | 28-45 | The Reds haven't had a winning road trip since June 19-26 of last season. |
