The San Francisco Giants have it all working as they are in an even year which means looking back at least the last five years they should add another Chip if their current trend keeps up. The Oakland Athletics still have the best W-L in the AL but the Toronto Blue Jays have gotten extremely hot and leads the AL East. The Motor City Kitties play in the average at best AL Central as they can afford to get on a Losing Streak and should be A Ok! The "Brew Crew" still leads the NL Central but I have a feeling it might be a four team race before it is said and done. The Chop Shop 404 has struggled but they lead the NL East as both the Nats and Fish are on the same block and that would be the Braves Block!

360 Degrees...

All the Division Leaders have one thing in common and that is excellent Starting Pitching or excellent Pens and Captain Save-A-Game's or all three...the Gigantes collectively might be the best in all three Categories!

Dodgers, Angels, Cards, and maybe the Yanks and O's have a shot as we go to press at catching the Division Leaders...

The Surprise of all surprises is the Fightin' Fish of 305 still above Water as we are in June Hardball...

Team that will be looking maybe to wheel and deal some Vets at the MLB Trade Deadline has to be the Phightin' Phils...

Team that is a wash for 2014 or Teams are the D-Backs and Cubbies as the Rays Starting Rotation has been hit and the 'Stros are in Rebuilding Mode but slowly heading North...

"What If" the Rangers had Martin Perez, the Fish had Jose Fernandez, and the Amazins'
had Matt Harvey...as those Teams are at or above the .500 Mark?

Who will be leading when the July 2014 or Pre-Mid Summer's Classic Power Rankings are unveiled?
