Weekly Top-5
San Diego – the Padres are red-hot; wouldn’t want to be the Marlins right now.
Chicago – Bats are starting to come alive. If the bullpen can hold leads, they could be back in business.
Giants – Still swinging the bats well.
St. Louis – 5-2 at home. Traveling to St. Louis will become a daunting task this season.
New York Mets – Handled the Cardinals in Queens, but are only 2-5 on the road. No need to panic yet, but the Mets need to hit on the road.
