ankees (29-21)A-Roid's return to the line-up has sparked the Bronx Bombers. Not only has he been raking but so has Mark Teixeira. The pitching staff is starting to come around also but still needs help.
2. Texas Rangers (30-20)
Best record in the AL, but only 7-6 since our last power rankings. Middle of the pack in most pitching categories. Simply put, they have an amazing, mainly home-grown line-up.3. Detroit
Tigers (28-21)The Tigers offense has been slightly disappointing so far this year but the pitching staff has made up for that. The Tigers staff ranks first in the AL in ERA, BAA, and OPS. Verlander leads the majors in strikeouts and Edwin Jackson is second to Greinke in ERA for AL pitchers.
4. Boston Red Sox (29-22)
Somehow the Sox keep winning with some of the worst starting pitching in the bigs. (5.24 ERA for their starters) Its never a good sign when Tim Wakefield leads your team in ERA with a stellar 4.55. Youkilis (1.150 OPS) and Bay(15 HR & 49 RBI) are raking, and if Big Papi ever gets going... LOOK OUT.
5. Toro
nto Blue Jays (29-24)Once the top team in our rankings they have lost 10 of 12 and are now in third place in the AL East. Injuries have decimated their pitching staff and caused the Jays to use 10 different starters this season. Roy Halladay is still a beast.
6. LA Angels (25-24)-- Only other AL team over .500
7. Chicago White Sox (24-25)-- 7-3 in their last 10 including a 5-2 road trip
9. Minnesota Twins (25-27)-- Justin Morneau in putting up MVP numbers.
10. TB Rays (25-28)-- David Price is up to the bigs. Can he spark the defending champs?
11. Seattle Mariners (24-27)-- Ichiro hit .377 in May
12. Baltimore Orioles (23-28)-- Good, young line-up just added #1 prospect Matt Weiteirs
13. KC Royals (23-27)-- Zach Greinke... Enough said
14. Cleveland Indians (22-30)-- Imagine if they had not gone 7-3 in their last 10
15. Oakland A's (19-29)-- P. A. thetic
