Based off MLB stats and standings and games I've anaylzed.
Top 6 AL Teams: 1. Baltimore Orioles (they're very good at home, 17-8) 2. Boston Red Sox (both records away and home good) 3. White Sox (despite their losing streak, their records are balanced) 4. Seattle Mariners (had to decide between SEA and TEX) 5. Texas Rangers 6. Cleveland Indians (right now, they're performing better than Royals)
Top 6 NL Teams: 1. Chicago Cubs (unstoppable, but i don't believe it for now) 2. Washington Nationals (gut decision) 3. SF Giants (why? better pitching/hitting than Phillies) 4. Philadelphia Phillies 5. Pittsburgh Pirates (sorry Mets fans, but you're in a slump right now)
3 Most Dominant Hitters of American League: 1. Mike Trout (LAA) 2. Manny Machado (BAL) 3. Eric Hosmer (KC)
3 Most Dominant Hitters of National League: 1. Daniel Muprhy (WSH) 2. Ryan Braun (MIL) 3. Ben Zobrist (CHC)
3 Most Dominant Pitchers of American League: 1. Chris Sale (CWS) 2. Jordan Zimmerman (DET) 3. Chris Tillman (BAL)
3 Most Dominant Pitchers of National League: 1. Clayton Kershaw (LAD) 2. Jake Arrieta (CHC) 3. Johnny Cueto (SFG)
AL Teams that I think will be a boom: Baltimore Orioles Kansas City Royals Seattle Mariners
AL Teams that I think will be a bust: Texas Rangers Chicago White Sox
NL Teams for boom: Chicago Cubs SF Giants Washington Nationals Los Angeles Dodgers
NL Teams for bust: Philadelphia Phillies New York Mets Arizona Diamondbacks

| Bradley Jr is good and all, but the 3 AL hitters have more experience. |

True, but Kershaw has thrown more innings, strikeouts, drew less BBs, and has a lower WHIP as well.
Also, Chicago Cubs have a 106+ run diff, while Dodgers have a 16+ run diff...And Kershaw performs as well as Arrieta. Put Arrieta in a trash defense like the The Atlanta Braves, and his stats'll change completely. |

| JBJ is nowhere near as good as Trout. He's just having a good start, trust me he's gonna burn out. |

"burn out"
Hes apart of the best offensive team in the AL, if Red Sox keep batting hot like this, he won't stop either |
