1. Zeroes (last week's ranking: 2): We don't like to brag, but early on in this game, the list touted Paulo's squad because of its balance between offense and pitching. While the Zeroes' offense has been Abu Dubai hot of late, the pitching still looks fierce, making the Zeroes the team to beat during the second half. Praise Allah.
2. Bammers (last week's ranking: 4): The list has been pretty tough on the BGoffs' proclivity for Pirates and Nationals, but there's no disputing the dominant pitching he has enjoyed all season. The Bammers may have to change their nickname to reflect the best rotation in ball -- we're thinking the Slingers. No matter what you call 'em, they can hurl.
3. Inmates (last week's ranking: 1): We're thinking the GrandPattons have just hit a little midseason swoon, but for an old guy, there's no doubt this squad has something left in the tank. He'll need it as every team in the Nationals is a threat in the second half, but there's no reason for the Inmates to get nervous -- yet.
4. Godfathers (last week's ranking: 3): The swooning seems to be a little contagious at the top of the National Division, but again, this team looks like it's built for the long haul. No worries, Vic. Pay no attention to those Derelicts or Damians growing closer in your rearview mirror. Keep those eyes on the road, grandpa.
5. Moaners (last week's ranking: 6): We can do all the moaning for Mikee's boys in their uphill battle to catch the Slingers and Zeroes. Certainly, it won't be easy to become a playoff team in this division, but we've seen the magic of the Moaners in the past. Sounds like a bad Cinemax late-nighter for sure. Stay tuned.
6. Derelicts (last week's ranking: 5): Definitely has some momentum going into the second half to become a playoff contender. The Way-Up-There-Northerners have tons of talent at the dish and off the rubber. They have 12 more weeks to put it all together against some very experienced frontrunners.
