Which teams are looking good for victory and which matchups are too close to call?

 

 

 

 

Â	R	HR	RBI	SB	AVG	OPS	W	SV	K	HLD	ERA	WHIP	Score
The Wright Stuff	34	7	31	5	.269	.786	5	6	53	1	4.57	1.34	5
SWAT	34	6	34	5	.291	.836	4	2	32	3	4.40	1.49	5

 

What a first week for the two finalists, locked in a 5-5 tie at the halfway point. The Stuff have pitched well, leading in wins, saves, Ks and ERA with Trevor Hoffman the pick of the arms. The bats are leading in homers thanks to A-Rod. SWAT have driven in more runs and hit for higher average and OPS thanks to Miguel Cabrera and Choo . The bullpen leads in holds thanks to Affeldt and Hawkins while Kuroda, Jurrjens and Tim Hudson have kept SWAT’s ERA down.

 

Â	R	HR	RBI	SB	AVG	OPS	W	SV	K	HLD	ERA	WHIP	Score
Orpington Isotopes	42	10	46	2	.299	.884	2	4	52	1	5.97	1.44	7
stevenston angels	22	8	29	2	.250	.804	4	0	37	1	4.53	1.32	3

 

My Isotopes are in a strong position, holding a 7-3 lead over the Angels. The Isotope offense has been carried by Ryan Howard (14 RBIs) while Matt Cain and the bullpen have helped build up healthy leads in Ks and saves. The Angels have had nice weeks from Quentin and Derrek Lee, while Joe Saunders has been the pick of the pitchers so far.

Borders Bats	32	4	33	6	.346	.867	2	4	17	0	2.87	1.53	7
RussDev Giants	21	5	23	6	.305	.871	1	3	26	0	7.27	1.56	3

 

The Bats also hold a 7-3 lead over the Giants in the consolation final, although quite a few of the categories are still up for grabs. The Bats have had good hitting from all of the lineup, particulatly Furcal and Span. Burnett and Soria have led a pitching staff which leads in four of six categories. The Giants have had nice power from Fielder and Verlander has been in good form, but need the rest of the lineup to pick things up.

 

Â	R	HR	RBI	SB	AVG	OPS	W	SV	K	HLD	ERA	WHIP	Score
Josh & Jonny Whos	40	8	37	1	.308	.889	2	4	26	0	6.08	1.76	5
Braughing’s Bangers	24	9	32	5	.297	.870	4	2	38	0	3.60	1.29	6

 

In the battle for 11th, the Bangers hold a 6-5 lead over the Whos at the halfway stage but quite a few categories are still up for grabs. The Whos are well ahead in runs and have hit well thanks to Adrian Gonzalez, Yunel Escobar and Jack Cust, but aside from Blanton it has been a tough week for the pitching staff. The Bangers have had power and speed from Tulowitzki plus some great pitching from Wainwright, Zambrano, Happ and Jackson.

 

I’ll be back with the last roundup of the fantasy season next week when we will find out which team will be crowned champions.
