Commentary
The Anaheim Anteaters are in a class of their own. Could end up being the best team in the history of Upper Deck and should be hands-on favorites to win the World Series.
Biggest Risers
The Atlanta Mental Patients climbed 8 spots over the last week, beginning at 20 and settling at 12 after having won 6 of 10. Atlanta is now firmly in the mix, but if the season ended today, however, they would be on the outside looking in - 1 game back of both the division leader and the second wild card.
Riding the strength of a five-game winning streak, the Minnesota Millers are among the league's hottest teams and jumped from 12 all the way up to 5. The Millers have established a nice cushion in the division.
Despite winning only 5 of 10, Salem Witch Hunts have done enough to climb from 13 to 6 in this week's rankings. Like Minnesota, they have also built a nice division lead.
Biggest Fallers
After ranking 5th in the previous rankings, the Baltimore Dry Docks are in a free fall, losing 6 of 10 and dropping from 1st place n the AL East into a three-way tie for the two wild card spots. They fell 9 spots to 14 overall, the biggest drop in these rankings.
The AL East took another significant hit with the Iowa City Small Bears, who are on a league-worst 5 game skid. They find themselves dropping from 10 to 17. They remain in the middle of the pack and in wild card position.
The Rochester Whippets are playing .500 ball over their last 10, though with other teams in the league climbing around them, the team fell from 11 to 18. They are two games out of a playoff position, but face a more significant hurdle in-division at 6 games back of Minnesota.
