28-22. Last Week: 4. Baltimore Orioles . 5. player. 11. Bad pitching was due to show up at some point with this staff and it’s been the main source of the problem the past two weeks. The Mariners and Astros both gave Baltimore issues and the result has been a 5-8 record in the second half of May dropping them down to 3 games back of the division leading Red Sox. <a href=

San Francisco Giants . 4. player. 31. The Giants took advantage of 6 games with the Padres by winning them all and are facing the Braves now before the schedule gets a bit more difficult. Pitching has been the key here as the offseason acquisitions of Cueto and Samardzija have paid huge dividends. Those two as well as <a href=. 33-21. Last Week: 6

The Nationals continue to go about their business fairly quietly as <a href=. 32-21. Last Week: 3. Washington Nationals . 3. player. 90

Last Week: 1. Chicago Cubs . 1. player. 9. There has been little doubt who the best team in baseball has been through 8 weeks. The Cubs sit at 35-15 having 6 less losses than the next best team in baseball. <a href=. 35-15
