As we enter May, it's time to start taking what we've seen -- for better or worse -- a little more seriously as the sample size continues to grow.
Our top five has remained the same for the second week in a row, meaning it's a pretty safe assumption that those dominant squads are the real deal. But perhaps the concerns surrounding teams such as Tampa Bay and Houston should be ramped up as they continue to fall.
While the Astros sputter at the bottom of the American League West, the Mariners and Rangers are duking it out atop the division, with Seattle surging up our rankings into the top 10 this week. How do we make sense of all these first-month performances?
