- The Seattle Mariners rank third among AL teams in home runs. For that, they can thank Raul Ibanez (more to come on that tomorrow)
- The Red Sox have already set a franchise record for most wins before the All-Star break (58 and counting). They own the best record in baseball and are on pace for 99 wins
- John Lackey has a 2.78 ERA for said Red Sox, but only a 7-6 record to show for it
- With 39 doubles, Manny Machado is on pace to tie Earl Webb's single season record for two-baggers, set all the way back in 1931
- R.A. Dickey leads the major leagues in earned runs
- Miguel Cabrera has 30 home runs but is not leading the American League (thanks to Chris Davis)
- The reigning World Series champs are eight games below .500
- The Braves lead the NL East despite getting a whole lot of nothing from B.J. Upton and Jason Heyward
- Joey Votto, possibly the best pure hitter in baseball, has only 41 RBI (putting him on pace for 76). I know RBI is an overrated/context dependent stat, but it still blows my mind
- Shin-Soo Choo has been hit by 20 pitches. Ouch
- Adam Wainwright has issued just 14 walks in over 140 innings of work. Talk about a control freak!
- Justin Verlander's 3.71 ERA and 1.39 WHIP seem way too high for a pitcher of his caliber
- Starlin Castro, pegged as a future batting champ by many, is batting a paltry .241
