No. 1 Arizona Diamondbacks
Standings: 6-1 (1st in NL West)
Outlook: What a week the Diamondbacks have had. Arizona started out by taking three of four games against the Giants then swept an Indians team coming off a World Series appearance. The Diamondbacks have a difficult week ahead as they head to California to take on the Giants and Dodgers. Next week, they will stay in the state to take on the Padres. Arizona's bats have had success with seven full-time players hitting .300 or better. Second baseman Brandon Drury has been red-hot hitting .476 with 10 hits, 5 RBI and 4 runs. Zack Greinke has looked good in his first two starts throwing 10 strikeouts with a 2.31 ERA. While Arizona has a long road ahead, they are on pace to more than outperform most people's expectations for the team heading into the season. The Diamondbacks need to string together a few more weeks of wins to prove they are for real. (Getty)
