While they haven\u2019t been perfect, the Milwaukee Brewers have settled in as one of the National League\u2019s better teams, going 23-9 over their last 32 games. <\/p>\n
Date: <\/strong>Friday, June 17, 2011 Milwaukee Brewers (39-30 through June 15)<\/strong> Playing for a huge new contract, Prince Fielder continues to tear the cover off the ball. In June, he\u2019s batting .375 with eight homers and 17 RBI in 14 games.<\/p>\n Shaun Marcum has been the Brew Crew\u2019s best pitcher this season, bar none. His strikeout rate has never been better and he\u2019s held opponents to one run or fewer in half his starts. As a former Toronto Blue Jay, he also shouldn\u2019t be uncomfortable facing another American League East team on Friday. Marcum is 3-2 with a 3.52 lifetime ERA at Fenway Park.<\/p>\n Boston Red Sox (40-27 through June 150<\/strong> To quote the immortal Dennis Green, \u201cthey were who we thought they were.\u201d It was only a matter of time before the Red Sox emerged as the class of the AL East. The BoSox are 10-1 over their last 11 games. [dfads params=’groups=10&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n The man really leading the charge is, believe it or not, David Ortiz. Big Papi is turning back the clock. He\u2019s about the only guy close to matching Prince Fielder\u2019s June; Ortiz is batting .348 with five homers and 16 RBI over 12 games.<\/p>\n
