First off, here are the MLB standings as we hit the halfway mark:

All the division races except the AL East of course are wide-open, with the possible exception of the AL West but I still think Texas will make a run at Houston.

The Rays team stats:

We really don't steal bases anymore, but our baserunning has been excellent. After a jump into respectability last year, the defense has regressed to its typical mediocrity, and our pitchers have really been wild this year (trading out Schultz and Ortega for Carsello has a lot to do with this). The starting pitching isn't as good but the bullpen remains excellent.

Batting stats:

Plenty to like here, especially with how productive the "lefty bashers" (Titcombe, Hayes, Gebers) have been, with the first two pushing a seasonal pace of 3 WAR despite playing part-time.

Pitching stats:

It says something that two of our top four pitchers in WAR are short relievers. What it says is both that the starters have been a bit inconsistent, and those two relievers (Kawase and Golunski) are just short of incredible. Another interesting tidbit is that Tim Siqueiros, a reliever who hasn't pitched that many innings, leads the team in losses (3).
