The Philadelphia Phillies and the St. Louis Cardinals play the second of their three-game series this Wednesday night at Busch Stadium in a showdown of National League division leaders. Game time is set for 8:15 p.m. (ET) and it will be broadcast nationally on ESPN.
As the season nears its halfway mark, the standings – and the power rankings – look less and less surprising and more and more like we thought they’d look before the season started.
The Toronto Blue Jays continue their three game series with the Atlanta Braves at Turner Field on Tuesday night in what will be the fourth of a nine-game interleague road trip. Game time is set for 7:35 p.m. and it will be broadcast nationally on the MLB Network.
The New York Yankees are heating up at the right time. The Boston Red Sox are on fire and they thumped the Bronx Bombers over and over last week to gain the American League East lead, so the Yankees’ 6-1 run since then is well-timed.
The Phillies have the best record in the Majors, not surprising with their stacked pitching staff, but they will be tested in this game facing last year’s Cy Young winner Felix Hernandez.
With the Tigers streaking this month they have taken over the lead in the AL Central and they visit the Mile High City in an interleague match up with the Rockies, who has beat Detroit in 7 of their last 8 games facing them.
The Toronto Blue Jays are more or less where we thought they’d be at this point of the season, not truly contending in the American League East but remaining a competitive pest for the juggernauts.
While they haven’t been perfect, the Milwaukee Brewers have settled in as one of the National League’s better teams, going 23-9 over their last 32 games.
The Chicago White Sox are back in the American League Central hunt, partially because their play has improved and partially because the Cleveland Indians have predictably faltered.
The Texas Rangers and the Atlanta Braves kick-off the second round of interleague play this Friday night in the first of a of a three-game set weekend at Turner Field. Game time is set for 7:35 p.m. and it will be broadcast nationally on the MLB Network.
The Boston Red Sox and the Tampa Bay Rays continue their AL East showdown this Thursday night at Tropicana Field when they wrap-up this three-game series. Game time is set for 7:10 p.m. and it will be broadcast nationally on the MLB Network.
I’ve recently covered the top closers and home parks in Major League Baseball for 2011. To gauge the top active managers, it’s better to look at their career win percentage, as their 2011 records are obviously just the same as the standings (aside from the interim guys who came in after firings).
The Texas Rangers and the New York Yankees square-off in the second of a three-game set at Yankee Stadium this Wednesday night. Game time is set for 7:05 p.m. and it will be broadcast nationally on ESPN.
MLB news: Brett Anderson shut down for six weeks
Brett Anderson may have avoided Tommy John surgery but the Oakland Athletic ace’s elbow injury will keep him out another eight weeks.
Dr. James Andrews told Anderson to rest the elbow for that long; he’ll also have a platelet-rich plasma injected into his elbow to expedite the healing process.
Johan Santana stops throwing program
It looks like New York Mets Johan Santana is in jeopardy of missing the entire 2011 season. He reportedly shut down his throwing program 10 days ago after experiencing soreness in his left (throwing) shoulder, which he had surgically repaired last September.
Dodgers owe many $8.33 million
The L.A. Dodgers’ messy financial situation just got worse. The team was already in limbo because of Frank and Jamie McCourt’s divorce; now, it appears the Dodgers owe Manny Ramirez $8.33 million by June 30. [soliloquy id=”82219″]
Manny is due deferred compensation of $25 million over the next three years, left over from the $42-million deal he signed before the 2009 season.

The Florida Marlins will look to make up some ground on the NL East-leading Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday night in the first of four-game series this week at Citizens Bank Park. Game time is set for 7:05 p.m. (ET) and it will be available on MLB TV.
The road back to respectability clearly goes through the pitching staff for the Cincinnati Reds. They’ve been half a good team this season, mashing the cover off the ball but posting some of the league’s worst pitching numbers.
