MLB Top Five and Bottom Five This Week

TOP FIVE
1) Los Angeles Dodgers (9-4): The Dodgers have feasted on their division rivals so far this season, going 8-2 against the rest of the National League West.
2) New York Mets (7-4): The Mets will be a playoff team come the end of the season.
3) Detroit Tigers (8-5): The Tigers have to prove that last season was not a fluke.
4) Boston Red Sox (7-4): I still question the Red Sox' pitching, particularly their bullpen.
5) Atlanta Braves (8-4): The question for the Braves is whether last season was just one bad season or a harbinger of bad seasons to come.

BOTTOM FIVE
1) Washington Nationals (4-9): This franchise can't lose enough games as far as I am concerned.
2) Kansas City Royals (3-10): Phenom third baseman Alex Gordon has looked woefully overmatched in the early going this season.
3) San Francisco Giants (4-7): The Giants are still smarting from their sweep the other week at the hands of archrival Los Angeles.
4) Philadelphia Phillies (3-8): Everyone agreed that the one thing the Phillies could NOT afford to do was to get off to a bad start yet again. Well, their record speaks for itself.
5) Colorado Rockies (5-8): New season, same old Rockies.
