Congrats to the Angles for having the best record in baseball. It is so close at the top of the Home Run leader board that I think any of the top six PHRs can still win it.

PHR standings as of 8/17/14

All players 30 or more home runs are listed with their pre-season odds.

1. J. Lindsey PHR 42.  Odds. 80-1

    Mexican league- AAA

2. G. Stanton PHR 41.  Odds 4-1

     Calif. League - AA

6. S. Moya - PHR 34  Odds 80-1

    30 homers in 120 games. 17 left

    Eastern League - A. Adv.

Closest race in 15 years with the minor leagues still in the running with less than 40 games to go. Very real chance that 40 home runs will not happen this year.

If the MLB playoffs were to start today...

My team the LA Angels took over first place in the ALW today. Here are the teams with the best win percentage;

LAA...595 ALW

OAK..593 ALW

BAL..570 ALE

WAS..562 NLE

LAD...560 NLW

MIL....556 NLC

KC.....549 ALC

DET...545 ALC

STL...533 NLC

Play off picture would look like this:

  AL

LAA vs KC

OAK vs BAL

NL

WSH vs STL

LAD vs MIL

Next closest wild card is DET in the AL, but really has no chance.

If Angles make playoffs and are 3-1 to win the WS, I'm going to Vegas baby!

Four at 25 homers

There's a four way tie at 25

We're just past the halfway point of the 2014 season and we have four players with 25 home runs.  J. Abreu who earlier spent two weeks on the DL has come back better than ever and is on track to win the HR title.

The four players with 25 homers are:

          JOSE ABREU.   # 79 / 1B 

Plays for the CWS who have 80 games left to play. He has played in 68 games and has a PHR of 54.411

          jOHN LINDSEY.  # 46 / 1B

Plays for Diables Rojos Del Mexico who have 71 games left play. He has played in 64 games and has a PHR of 52.307

          NELSON CRUZ. # 23 / L

Plays for the Baltimore Orioles who have 82 games left to play. He has played in 79 games and has a PHR of 50.949

          EDWIN ENCARNACION  # 10 / 1B

Plays for the Toronto Blue Jays who have 71 games left to play. He has played in 82 games and has a PHR of 49.087

This is the tightest race we have had in ten years with no clear leader, but I look for ABREU to take the lead after the All Star break.

PHR Standings as of June 15, 2014

John Lindsey of the AAA Mexican League is only player on track to hit 50 homers this year ( PHR 57 ).   Hitting ten homers in a month is a tall order, but if he can do it he would be on track to join the 60 Homers Club this year.

All players with 20 homers are listed.
