Commentary
Montreal Smoked Heaters - Inter-League couldn't have come at a better time after getting swept in 3 game series against Philadelphia and Scottsdale, Also lost series against Richmond and Jackson. Montreal bounced back going 10-2 against the AL East. Montreal Averaged 7 runs per game and gave up 4.25 runs per game. A fantastic turn around as they now sit 9 games up on Syracuse.
Iowa City Small Bears - Iowa moved up 8 spots this week after an abysmal showing (losing 5 of 7) against Rochester. Iowa seems to have found their stride now as they ride a 5 game win streak and on the verge of sweeping number 1 ranked Salem.
Scottsdale Dirtbags - Scottsdale moves down the rankings 4 spots to occupy 30th. Boasting one of the highest payrolls and one of the oldest teams in the league, One would expect a lineup that is anchored by Eury Flores, Billy Ray Washington and Gene Wagner to produce better results then 28 wins and a bottom 3 NL Offense. As the Trade Deadline approaches, snotpuppies will have to make some tough decisions on the direction of the franchise.
NL East - What looked to be a two horse race has the potential of being one of the most competitive divisions in the league.
-Philadelphia and Scranton continue their battle for first in the division, occupying the 6th and 7th spots on the ranking board.
-Trenton continues its surge up the ranking board 3 more spots as they took 2/3 from Cincinnati, New Orleans, Pawtucket and on the verge of taking 3/4 from New Orleans. Nothing gets easier for Trenton going forward. They will play Syracuse, Jackson and Montreal. Then back to division play after the All-Star break against Philadelphia and Scranton.
