Twins, Astros, Yankees
Not too shabby. Twins....how in the world are they hitting so many HR's? Speaking of HR's...SANGA...16 in 36 games.
Hmmmm.....GREDI, STAGI, JUDAA, BIRGR,ELLJA & TULTR still out. Hmmmm.....SEVLU,PAXJA, BETDE & SABCC not available. Watch out AL east.

The Twins' 1st year manager, young Rocco Baldelli, brought in coaches that have most definitely had a positive effect not just on hitting approaches (they're also among the lowest in team strikeouts...those 2 things NEVER go together) but increased velocity for most of their pitchers....and not overthrowing, just better mechanics.
When even barely Mendoza line Adrianza has 4 home runs playing part time, something's changed. Not just over record pace for homers, but extra base hits and slugging percentage as well. However, beyond beating the Astros 4 games to 3 and losing 2 of 3 to the Yankees, they haven't been playing the top teams, either. Brewers, Rays, Indians are next 3 series- if they still average 2 homers/game there... If the AL isn't careful, playoff teams will be all but decided by the break
