Marlins |
3-3 |
0.889 |
Stingy fish: only nine runs allowed thanks to shutouts by Dontrelle Willis and Josh Beckett. |
| 2 |
Brewers |
3-2 |
0.747 |
Davis and Sheets and pray for sleet? Not with a retractable dome as home. Besides, new Brew crew has allowed only 2 HR so far, best in MLB. |
| 3 |
Tigers |
3-3 |
0.735 |
D'Meathook has cooled since Opening Day hat-trick put him on 486-HR pace, but 1.403 OPS isn't too shabby. |
| 4 |
Phillies |
3-3 |
0.679 |
Hot week from Pat Burrell (.480/.483/.960) offers hope for recapturing 2002 form. |
| 5 |
Dodgers |
4-2 |
0.667 |
Offense rolling despite 2-for-27 start from J.D. Drew, but bullpen shaky without Eric Gagne: 14 ER in 19.2 IP. |
| 6 |
Padres |
3-3 |
0.656 |
Xavier Nady equals last season's HR total in first week (3) to lead potent Pads. |
| 7 |
Blue Jays |
4-2 |
0.652 |
Players whose names begin with H--Hillenbrand, Hudson, and Hinkse--drew one walk in 72 plate appearances. |
| 8 |
Astros |
4-1 |
0.599 |
Note to Phil Garner: Adam Everett (.111/.304/.167) leading off isn't helping that offense. |
| 9 |
Cubs |
3-3 |
0.591 |
Mark Prior's season debut on Tuesday will have every Cubs fan on edge. |
| 10 |
Reds |
3-3 |
0.588 |
"I don't care what they say about home runs in Great American Ball Park, it can't possibly be as homer-friendly as Citizens Bank. There is no way," said Eric Milton. With 5 HR allowed in 9.2 innings, Milton's pet gopher is still following him. |
| 11 |
A's |
3-3 |
0.579 |
Pitchers not named Barry Zito: 1.05 ERA in 42.2 innings. |
| 12 |
Devil Rays |
3-3 |
0.535 |
Even famous fan Billy Koch is grubbing for a spot in the Rays' bullpen. |
| 13 |
Giants |
4-2 |
0.515 |
Barry Me Not: .360/.407/.440 with two walks and no HR for Pedro Feliz, who has all of team's at-bats as leftfielder. |
| 14 |
White Sox |
4-2 |
0.500 |
Starters: 12 ER in 40 innings. Relievers: 13 ER in 15 innings. |
| 15 |
Orioles |
3-3 |
0.500 |
Holding their own despite slow start from Sammy Sosa (.200/.259/.240). |
| 16 |
Twins |
3-3 |
0.481 |
Loss of inning-eater Carlos Silva (torn meniscus, right knee, All-Star Break or later) puts Kyle Lohse and Joe Mays on the spot. |
| 17 |
Rangers |
3-3 |
0.469 |
Ranger danger: bullpen leads majors with four blown saves. |
| 18 |
Mariners |
2-4 |
0.469 |
It's all Ichiro: .478/.538/.522. Rest of team: .233/.270/.358. |
| 19 |
Angels |
3-3 |
0.447 |
Bats didn't make trip to the City of Angels (whichever one they're claiming this week): team hitting .221/.272/.361. |
| 20 |
Royals |
3-3 |
0.437 |
Impressive starts from Denny Bautista and Runelvys Hernandez (in return from Tommy John Surgery) offer encouragement that Lima Time (10.80 ERA in 6.2 innings) is hardly the rotation's only hook. |
| 21 |
Indians |
3-3 |
0.432 |
Rough start for starters: 5.57 ERA. Juan Gone to DL, Grady Sizemore returns. |
| 22 |
Diamondbacks |
3-3 |
0.425 |
If Troy Glaus can homer four times a week, then yes, he's worth the money. Seven hits and not a single among them. |
| 23 |
Yankees |
3-3 |
0.425 |
Mo woes end Sox series on sour note, then big money trio of Wright, Johnson and Pavano took lumps from O's. |
| 24 |
Braves |
4-2 |
0.371 |
Mixed bag from John Smoltz as he returns to rotation: 7 runs in 1.2 IP Opening Day KO, then 15-K gem vs. Mets. |
| 25 |
Red Sox |
2-4 |
0.332 |
Averted sweep in Bronx by roughing up Mariano Rivera, then rang in the new year at Fenway with Bombers in the house. |
| 26 |
Mets |
1-5 |
0.331 |
Willie's win worth waiting for: vintage Pedro in 2-hit, 9-K complete game. |
| 27 |
Cardinals |
2-3 |
0.280 |
Albert Pujols and Larry Walker are on track, but rest of team--hitters and pitchers--lagging behind. |
| 28 |
Rockies |
1-4 |
0.276 |
Rocky Horror Show: 9.86 team ERA despite only two home games. |
| 29 |

| 30 |
Pirates |
2-4 |
0.182 |
Which is worse: one HR by entire team in first week, or that it was hit by Tike Redman? |
