June is over, the weekend raiders All-Stars approach, this means that half of the 2014 season is over. It is time to learn from this first part of the calendar, to get an idea of the contenders for the playoffs. Place in the National League.
The Braves are still struggling raiders to score, even if there was the best in June. Drummers link to the 26th position with 24.1% of batting average, and the penultimate place with only 286 runs scored. Fortunately this lack of offensive output is offset by a very effective body pitchers. The rotation appears 5th collective ERA MLB (3.26) and allows Atlanta to keep the hand in a relatively mediocre division. raiders
The only team that can threaten Atlanta is Washington, even though the franchise capital has some complex and loses most of its direct confrontation with the Braves ... The return from injury of Bryce Harper may be the element decisive for the rest of the season.
The first half of the season, the Nats rotation is simply the best in the league. It has the best collective ERA (3.07) and no team has conceded fewer runs (254). The bullpen is also impeccable, with a magical trio to finish the game: Tyler Clippard (1.95 ERA), Drew Storen (1.03 ERA) and Rafael Soriano (1.06 ERA, 22 saves).
Despite the loss of Jose Fernandez, the Florida manage to maintain proper balance. The rest of the rotation has elevated his game to compensate for the absence of the young leader. But the real boss of the franchise raiders is Giancarlo Stanton, who currently manages to avoid injury. The outfielder is changing at an MVP level, with his batting average of 31.3%, his 21 home runs (3rd MLB) and 61 RBI. It is well supported by Casey McGehee (31.1%, raiders 50 RBI).
Despite a rather strong rotation and bullpen, raiders the Mets do not succeed. Blame it on an attack that is still struggling to be effective and score. Captain David Wright is not at his level and rookie Curtis Granderson has awakened that during this June after a disastrous raiders start to the season. The team has the 27th batting average in the MLB with only 23.9%.
The end of an era may have arrived raiders in Philadelphia, where the general raiders manager Ruben Amaro will have to make decisions about the direction to take for his frankness. It would not be surprising to see more players leave Pennsylvania at the end of the 2014 season.
Despite some bright elements such as Chase Utley (28.7% - 6 HR - 47 RBI) or pitchser Cliff Lee (3.18 ERA) and Cole Hamels (2.98 ERA), the Phillies are unable to string victories. They often take water as evidenced raiders by their differential -40 runs, one of the worst in the MLB.
Superb rotations Atlanta and Washington will compete first place in the division. The return of Bryce Harper can make the little bit of boost that the Nats need to take advantage on their rival. Also follow the second part of season Giancarlo Stanton, who could be in the running for the MVP. It must also be alert to possible movements towards Philadelphia. NL CENTRAL
In mid-season, the Brewers are still atop the division. They never looked behind them since their thunderous debut (20-8 in April). The mark of 51 wins is the best in franchise history.
The strength of Milwaukee raiders this season, is the balance between pitchers and batters. The attack scores a lot and supports rotation hitherto solid. The lineup is in the top 5 MLB in batting average (26.1%) in home runs (88) and runs scored (362). The closer Francisco Rodriguez, meanwhile, leads the league in games saved (27).
Rotation remains the strong point, but the wounds of Michael Wacha and Jaime Garcia are hard knocks. Fortunately, Adam Wainwright is always the cream of the MLB and makes the output quality (11-4, 1.89 ERA, 106 K). Waino is back in the title race NL Cy Young, where he came second in 2013.
Side drummers, rookie raiders Billy Hamilton begins to find the rhythm. Its role in the position of "leadoff" is important. Its strength is its speed, which has allowed him to steal 34 bases (14 of June). raiders
The three-way race between St. Louis, raiders Cincinnati and Pittsburgh is restarted, but this time away from the leader Milwaukee. Pirates have also glued the Cardinals raiders with a less June in good order.
Andrew McCutchen (31.5% - 12 HR - 49 RBI) continues its momentum MVP. The major problem with Pittsburgh is the regression at the rotation, like Francisco Liriano to a side of the plate (1-6, 4.60 ERA).
26th in runs scored (295) and before last in batting average (23.1%),
