It's been an exciting two weeks of baseball so far.
Every team has played about 12 games, which isn't enough to predict who will be left standing come October but it does provide us with some interesting trends to keep up with as the year goes along.
Sorry Baltimore fans, your notoriously strong-starting Orioles aren't going to finish in first place.
Nor is David Wright going to lead the league in hitting with a .500 average.
On the other end of things, chances are good the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Angels will pick things up and move up in the standings.
BUY: Alex Rodriguez is DONE
A-ROD is hitting an abysmal .222 with 8 strikeouts and only 1 home run.
Last year he battled injuries and never quite found his groove, only playing in 99 games. Health hasn't been a big issues this year, though, as Rodriguez has played in all of the Yankees' 12 games.
It looks like father time has finally caught up to this 36-year-old.
SELL: The Washington Nationals will win the National League East
More than a few experts thought the Nats were a serious playoff threat before the season started. There's definitely a lot of talent here, especially in that pitching staff (tops in the majors in ERA, quality starts, WHIP, and batting average against).
But Washington should mostly thank baseball's schedule makers for this 10-3 start. It's come against bottom feeders like the Chicago Cubs and Houston Astros.
The Nats' lineup will eventually catch up to them.
BUY: The Detroit Tigers will run away with the AL's best record
The Tigers currently sit at 9-3, only one game behind the Texas Rangers (10-2) for the best record in the American League.
Two reasons to be bullish on the Tigers finishing with a better record than the Rangers: they get to feast on woeful AL Central teams while Texas has to deal with the Los Angeles Angels and they have a pitcher-sluggers combination few can match, i.e. Justin Verlander and the Miguel Cabrera-Prince Fielder duo.
