Season Standings
1: Atlanta Braves (26-8, +$1,514) – The Braves continue to have the most impressive marks of any team at the MLB level this year. Do you realize if they keep up at this pace for the entire season that they’ll have 62 wins just at home under their belt? It is going to be very difficult to miss the postseason with 60+ victories at home, so Atlanta’s success at Turner Field is going to be paramount.

2: New York Mets (28-12, +$1,404) – It’s sad for the Mets that they don’t even have the best home mark in their own division let alone their own city. However, all of this success at Citi Field is going to save manager Jerry Manuel’s job for another season and take a lot of pressure off of GM Omar Minaya as well. The next goal that he has won’t be looking for a new man to run his dugout, but a new pitcher to help his rotation out.

3: Detroit Tigers (25-11, +$1,189) – If the Tigers are going to run down the Minnesota Twins once and for all in the AL Central, they are going to have to do so by playing well at Comerica Park. There are a ton of games to be played in the Motor City over the course of the rest of the season, and a near .700 winning percentage there is going to help matters tremendously.

Who’s Hot?
1: Boston Red Sox (5-0, +$500) – The Sox have run down the Tampa Bay Rays for second place in the AL East, and they now have their sights set on the New York Yankees. The only question is whether or not there is going to be enough left in the tank to get through the second half of the season after expending so much energy in winning streaks like this one to try to get back into the race.

2: Baltimore Orioles (4-1, +$331) – It’s about time that the fans in Baltimore had something to cheer about. The O’s have won four straight games to “improve” to 23-52. Now, instead of being on a pace to win just 43 games, the O’s are on a clip to take down 50 games. All together now: Whoop-Di-Doo!

3: Atlanta Braves (4-1, +$287) – It should come as no surprise that the Braves are once again on the list of teams that are hot at home, as it feels like they are here every single week. This time around, it was the Rays, Royals, and Tigers that felt the wrath of Turner Field to the fullest extent, though a 10-4 win by Detroit broke up a seven game winning streak in “Hotlanta” on Sunday.

Season Standings
1: Tampa Bay Rays (20-19, -$1,319) – The Rays just can’t figure out how to play well at Tropicana Field right now, and the end result, at least through almost half of the season, is that they have lost their edge in the AL East and wouldn’t even be in the playoffs if they started today. Manager Joe Maddon knows that .500 ball at the Trop won’t cut it, so the second half of the season, his team has to be in search of at least 27-28 home wins.

2: Houston Astros (16-24, -$829) – Matters may only be getting worse in Houston in the weeks to come, as the carousel out of town may start to turn. Names like RHP Roy Oswalt and 1B Lance Berkman may be playing their final days out in the Lone Star State, which isn’t going to help a team that is already woeful in its own stadium.

3: Chicago Cubs (18-18, -$795) – There are certain teams that you should probably just avoid on a regular basis, and the annually overrated Cubs are one of those teams. Chicago hasn’t found any traction at Wrigley Field this year, and the newest debate is where RHP Carlos Zambrano is going to be traded to after his tirade that had him sent out of the clubhouse by manager Lou Piniella and earned him an indefinite suspension by the team.

Who’s Not?
1: New York Yankees (2-3, -$416) – This is the price that you pay for backing the Yankees on a regular basis at home. Moments like this are just bound to happen. New York lost three straight games at Yankee Stadium in its L/5 there, all three of which came at the hefty price tag of at least -190. There are going to be plenty of five game winning streaks in the Bronx, but three game slides are simply going to be killers.

2: Florida Marlins (1-4, -$405) – Congrats to the Fish for successfully hitting the self-destruct button on their 2010 campaign. They scored just three runs in as many days against the visiting Padres over the weekend and are now floating around looking for a manager after canning Fredi Gonzalez late last week.

3: Tampa Bay Rays (2-3, -$352) – The Pads are also to thank for Tampa Bay’s recent home woes, as they marched into the Trop and took two out of three from the hosts this week as well. Tampa’s bigger problem is an offense that was no hit for the third time in less than a calendar year. There is plenty of fighting in house as well, as CF BJ Upton and 3B Evan Longoria were caught getting into it in the clubhouse on Sunday.
