There are fourteen teams who pair up in different combinations each week, making for seven match-ups in any given week. The teams battle over twelve statistical categories, gaining one point for each category they win.<\/em><\/p>\n

We start with a big win for the Stuff, who climbed up to second after defeating the Bet 10-1. The Stuff put up awesome homer numbers thanks to Morse and Lind as seven different hitters went yard. It was hardly a vintage week for ERAs, but the Stuff still took five pitching categories thanks to Hamels and Crow. Youk was the pick of Margaret’s hitters, while Halladay and Lincecum both went winless.<\/div>\n

The Yankees were also big winners, sweeping the offensive categories in a 10-2 victory over the Vendors. Justin Upton, Cano and Granderson all had productive weeks, while Cain, Danks, Humber and Tomlin all picked up wins. Verlander was outstanding for the Vendors, while the bullpen of Wilson, Walden, Clippard and Sipp took care of saves and holds.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/div>\n

Shields, Sabathia and Arroyo both won twice while Capps had three saves.

Dave’s team picked up a 7-4 win over Bonestalkers thanks to the pitching staff. Burnett, Baker, Lester and Norris all had strong weeks to help take four categories, while Pujols and Gardner provided power and runs but Albert’s injury leaves a hole in the lineup. Bonestalkers ran wild, stealing 11 bases thanks to Reyes and BJ Upton while Hanrahan had three saves.<\/div>\n

My pitching staff made the difference in the 7-5 win against Redbacks, sweeping the six categories. Daniel Hudson and Chacin led the rotation, while Bailey had three saves and Balfour two holds. It was a pretty mediocre week for my hitters, but Montero and Walker gave me the edge in RBIs. Ichiro, Cuddyer, Rolen and Hill helped Redbacks take the other five offensive categories.<\/div>\n

SWAT ran out 6-3 winners in a close matchup against the leading Sox. Espinosa, Cabrerea and Hardy gave SWAT the edge in average and OPS, while Kuroda and Gallardo racked up the strikeouts. Marmol, Soria, Romo and Johnson took care of saves and holds. The Sox had plenty of speed from Kemp, McCutchen, Braun and Victorino, while Wandy Rodriguez didn’t allow an earned run in his two wins.<\/div>\n
