Red Sox Run the Table, Yankees Surge
A quick lap of the standings, offenses and pitching staffs.
Two teams made the biggest jumps this week without touching the top three. Boston went 6-0 and vaulted seven spots, while the Yankees rode Ben Rice into the top five. The powerhouses stayed put, but the middle of the standings got interesting.

Best offenses
Team OPS — on-base plus slugging. Higher is better.
The Dodgers lead the league in team OPS at .779, no surprise for a lineup this deep, with the Pirates a close second at .763. Washington sits third at .759, quietly outscoring its record.

Best rotation
Starting rotation ERA — starters only. Lower is better.
Milwaukee owns the best rotation ERA at 3.29, matching its new perch atop the standings, with Tampa Bay right behind at 3.37. Out of the bullpen it's the Yankees leading at 3.05, one more reason they're suddenly in the top five.
