If the first three months of the baseball season taught us anything, it’s that the New York Yankees are for real, and that the rest of the American League has every reason to be very worried.
The Yankees have powered their way to the top of the charts
American League
AL East
Baltimore Orioles
Boston Red Sox
New York Yankees
Power, power, and more power. New York has a +177 run differential as of this writing, +26 more than the next best team (Dodgers).
Tampa Bay Rays
The Rays are mid-pack in the East, heading into the end of June.
Toronto Blue Jays
Injuries to starters and the bullpen have derailed a fine start to the season.
AL Central
Chicago White Sox
An unreliable pitching staff and home field have led to some high scoring games for the White Sox but remember, this team finished the 2021 season scoring an average of 4.9 runs per game.
Cleveland Guardians
The Guardians are doing just enough to stay relevant in the least competitive division in baseball.
Detroit Tigers
Kansas City Royals
Minnesota Twins
The Twins are one team that has used a weaker strength of schedule to build up its batting stats.
AL West
Houston Astros
Los Angeles Angels
Oakland Athletics
Seattle Mariners
The Mariners have stayed competitive, using a sweep against the Blue Jays to crawl into position for a Wild Card.
Texas Rangers
National League
NL East
Atlanta Braves
Max Fried is helping keep this team in a race to win the division and they’ve also demonstrated one of the strongest home field advantages in baseball.
Florida Marlins
New York Mets
Philadelphia Phillies
Washington Nationals
NL Central
Chicago Cubs
Cincinnati Reds
Milwaukee Brewers
Pittsburgh Pirates
St. Louis Cardinals
NL West
Arizona Diamondbacks
