It's June 3rd. The baseball season is roughly 35% done.

Consider these two groups of teams.

Group 1

Seattle Mariners (88-74, 2nd Place AL West last season)
Colorado Rockies (90-73, NL Champion)

Group 2
Chicago Cubs (85-77, NL Central Champion)
Tampa Bay Rays (66-96, 30 games out of first in the AL East)

Which group includes the two teams with the best records in MLB?
Which group includes the two teams with the worst records in MLB?

Before the season started, the Mariners and Rockies were picked as favorites for their divisions. Now they both have records of 21-38 (.356), tied for the worst in the major leagues. How bad are they? Francisco Rodriguez has more saves, 23, than they have wins.

The Cubs were supposed to contend for the NL Central title, but the Rays? Not with the Red Sox and the Yankees in their division. I doubt the Rays can keep it up all season, but I said the same thing a month ago when they were playing well.

Just something to ponder.
