We're starting to see some separation in this week's standings. Let's see how it affects the power rankings:
1. And Another One Bites The DL-Randy Blum (35.5 Points)
Randy continues to hold on to the top spot, though the gap between him and his competitors is slipping. He got the win this week, though with a sub-par (By Randy's standards) performance. He stays at the top, though, and shouldn't be expected to be "down" for long.
2. Zimmerman Telegraph-Shane Sandri (34 Points)
Shane cruises to victory this week, and a strong showing against Division 1 opponents so far has put him in the driver's seat in Division 2, with a now 3 game lead over his rivals. He could be running away with it pretty quickly here.
3. The Bryce Is Right-Andrew Blum (33 Points)
Andrew continues to flex his fantasy muscle, now running his winning streak to six games. The competition is staying close, but the next few weeks could see him gain some separation.
4. Albuquerque Isotopes-Josh Blum (25 Points)
Josh's team has been heating up over the last few weeks, and a win this week puts him back over .500 and in a strong spot in the league overall. Getting back into Division 1 match-ups should say a lot about what the rest of the season will look like.
T-5. The Fresh "Prince"-Scott Stepaniak (22 Points)
Scott runs into a rough match-up this week and suffers the loss because of it. Still, his team is looking strong overall. It may be a tough fight all season, but expect Scott to stick around.
T-5. A New Era-Austin Drake (22 Points)
Austin puts up a terrific point total this week, but runs into the bad luck of a bad match-up. With the loss, Austin falls to 2-5. Still, with a return back to the weaker Division 2 and the strong point totals, Austin should get back on the winning track pretty quickly.
7. How I Met Yu's Mother-Brian Rossen (20.5 Points)
The BSR takes the loss this week, and it costs him in the standings. Now sitting three games back of the division lead, he needs to turn things around as he gets back to Division 2 competition, or his season could slip away.
8. LC Legend-Kyle Trondle (11.5 Points)
Kyle can't catch a break, and he suffers in the standings because of it. He now sits alone in last place. Still, it will be interesting to see how he does in the coming weeks. His pitching finally seems to be turning around and, let's not forget...he's got Miguel Cabrera.
9. ThE RoUnD MoUnD Of ReBoUnD-Ervin Demirasi (9 Points)
Ervin's lucky streak seems to be over, at least for now. He might pick up a few extra wins, but without a big move, he might be falling out playoff contention pretty quickly.
10. No More Haren Addiction-Andy Ashbaugh (7.5 Points)
Andy picks up win #2, and though he still sits in last in the power rankings, things are starting to look up. He will need to pick up a few more big wins to really be in contention, but he at least seems a bit more hopeful now.
Heading into Week 8, we get back to mostly divisional match-ups. In the game of the week, we see #1 And Another One Bites The DL (5-2) takes on #4 Albuquerque Isotopes (4-3). A win for Randy keeps him right near the top of Division 1, while a win for Josh could be the boost toward the top he needs to get past "just above .500."
In other action, we get #2 Zimmerman Telegraph (6-1) taking on #8 LC Legend (1-6) in a match that could be closer than you might expect. #3 The Bryce Is Right (6-1) goes up against #5 The Fresh "Prince" (4-3) in a match that could tell us a lot about both of these teams directions going forward. Meanwhile, #5 A New Era (2-5) goes up against #7 How I Met Yu's Mother (3-4) in a match that both teams could desperately use a win in. And finally, #9 ThE RoUnD MoUnD Of ReBoUnd (3-4) goes up against #10 No More Haren Addiction (2-5) that could be an important win for either team.
Until next week, good luck to all!
