Think a Boston sweep of the Yankees can get them into the top spot? Think again, though they're close..
1. (2) Atlanta Braves (12-6):
Outfielder Andruw Jones is off to a slow start, hitting only .222, but he looked better with five hits at New York last weekend.
2. (4) Boston Red Sox (12-5):
Starter Josh Beckett is dominant early with a 4-0 record and 25 strikeouts in 24.2 innings. Look out if he stays hot.
3. (1) New York Mets (11-6):
This just in: At .370 with 16 RBI and 10 steals in 17 games, shortstop Jose Reyes is now in the discussion for best player in the game.
4. (6) Los Angeles Dodgers (13-6):
The team?s 2.98 ERA is second best in all of baseball and a sign of how deep the pitching is in Los Angeles, where the impact of Jason Schmidt has been very disappointing.
