This article is part of our Weekly Hitter Rankings series.
Usually, the top hitting teams spend the week at home. This time, the top three teams in terms of projected runs all split the week home and away. The Rockies head the group with four home games, followed by a pair of offenses not known for scoring but have nice matchups this week. This is a good week to get your fringe Tigers and Mets in your active lineup.
Nine teams play seven games with only the White Sox drawing the short five-game stick.
The Orioles draw the talented Rays and Yankees staffs for a pair of three-game series, but they're slated to face five southpaws so think about clicking in Baltimore's righthanded contingent.
