Interesting facts or if we were playing Rotisserie style instead of head-to-head
The Rangers have earned the third most points in the league (152.5) but would not make the current playoff field. 

The Rangers also lead the league in Games Played (787). The Cubs are second with 775 and also miss the playoffs. The Dodgers are 14th with 593 but are a playoff team. The Phillies dominate the offensive categories and are only #7 with 707 games played. 

The Red Sox have the worst offense (by points) but the second-best pitching staff. 

Seven teams are still in the single digits of saves earned.

[Phillies GM (Matt)]

Good update Monty thanks! Injuries is another stat i think weighing into all this. Still a bit till the break and a lot of ball left to play. Still not sure how anyone catches Cleveland at this point. Every week i look i might see a category I’d narrow out or 2 but then he just has all of them crammed with big numbers. Makes me sick!

Bro, your offense is sick. You own almost every category. You are like 3 wins behind me. I lead 1 category. This is far from over and you are right there. Going to be fun though to try to fend you off. League as a whole is a lot tougher so that says something about our owners. Keep it only 1/3 way there.

I just got like 5 hitters back who have been out since April so clearly I'm about to make a huge run
