Seven weeks into the season, we're still seeing dominant performances from a number of American League teams, with seven of our top 10 teams residing in the AL.
That has not been the case in the National League, with preseason juggernauts like the Mets and Padres -- teams that went big this offseason to put together playoff-caliber rosters -- struggling. Both are currently below .500 and stumbling in their divisional races, though the Mets' 8-7 walk-off win Wednesday night over the Rays could be the catalyst they needed to get going.
Two teams, however, have risen above the rest to vie for the title of best NL team.
