Weekly Hitter Rankings: Not So Evil Twins

Written by

Updated on May 3, 2021 2:46PM EST

The Minnesota Twins offense is getting warm at the right time as they have the full seven games facing the middling staffs of the Rangers and Tigers. They also score above-average in every ranked category.

Six more squads play seven times, with the Royals, Athletics, Angels and Cardinals enjoying home cooking all week long. The Reds and White Sox are slated to play just five contests with the Pale Hose on the road all week.

Stolen base potential is one of the factors considered in these rankings. For an excellent early season review of the steals landscape, be sure to check out this week's Collette Calls by Jason Collette.

As usual, these rankings will be finalized Sunday night after rotations are firmed up.
