Standings, Leaders, and Awards

Standings

In England, Spurs, Chelsea, and Liverpool are duking it out for first, while United holds the last Champions League spot with City and Fulham within a couple of games. In the pyramid below, there aren’t too many surprises, but Huddersfield Town in League One has a pretty strong hold on first place.

Germany’s two biggest clubs – Dortmund and Bayern – are battling at the top of the Bundesliga table. The third and fourth place spots are shaping up for a scrap with Mainz, Schalke, Leverkusen, Kaiserslautern, and Monchengladbach within a couple of games of each other.

It’s all Barca and Madrid in La Liga, and Villarreal is in good shape in third. Competition for the last Champions League is tight with five clubs within one good series of fourth place. Way down in Division B, Alaves is making a strong case for promotion. They have a 4 game lead on first place 53 games through the 126 game season.

Milan, Roma, and Inter are close atop the Serie A table, while the last Champions League spot is up for grabs. In Serie B Juve Stabia and Gubbio already look like locks for relegation, while Benevento in Lega Pro, who signed American free agent Landon Donovan in January, are pulling away from the competition. The Stregoni have only lost two games out of 41 played. Donovan is batting .442 / .624 / .959 with a WAR of 7.2.

Bordeaux and Lille are top of Ligue 1. With three Champions League spots, competition for the final spot is going to be fierce. Third place Nice are holding off six teams within three games. Thonon, meanwhile, continue their futile season, they’re still searching for their first win of the season.

The Eredivisie in Holland has a single Champions League spot, and Utrecht has four teams within 6 games. At the bottom of the table, three teams: Excelsior Rotterdam, NAC Breda, and de Graafschap all seem to be trying to cram into two relegation spots, the teams are 1-30, 2-29, and 3-28 respectively.

Portugal’s top flight, Liga Portugal, the Belgian First Division, and Russia’s Premier League kicked off this month. The table is still shaping up 16 games in.

In the Europa League North, IFK (SWE) continues its dominance. They’re 50-23 with Astana in second, 5 games back. Eleven teams are within 2 series of third place. It’s a Sweden sandwich in the North, AIK are the back of the line, but they’re close to Kosice (SVK) and Young Boys (SUI).

In the South, Steaua Bucharest (ROM) had a 14-game win streak that pushed them ahead of Besiktas (TUR). It already looks like a two-way race for first with the third Champions League place held by Trabzonspor (TUR) for now. Five teams are within six games of the Istanbul club. At the bottom end, Otelul Galati are not quite Thonon bad, but they’re close: 5-68 and a 25-game losing streak.

Leaders

RvP (NED) has put together a great season for Arsenal and he’s leading the Premier League in BA (.427), OBP (.513), SLG (.822), OPS (1.335), and HR (17). Chelsea’s Petr Cech (CZE) continues to dominate from the mound. With 71.2 IP, he’s got 94K, less than one BB/9, and 0.54 WHIP. Chelsea’s season is helped by Jose Delgado (ESP) who leads the league in W (9) and is in the top six in ERA, IP, K, and WHIP; he’s on a 9-game winning streak.

The Bundesliga batting leaderboard is all Rot. Bayern Munich is dominating. Arjen Robben (NED) is top in AVG (.508), H (65), and R (55). Franck Ribery (FRA) leads in HR (18), SB (22), and TB (121). Bastian Schweinsteiger (GER) leads the rest of the categories: RBI (54), OBP (.571), SLG (.927), and WAR (5.3). Cristofor Valbusa (ITA) is also a frequent appearance on the leaderboard. Bundesliga pitching is a mixed bag, but Dortmund’s Corey Martel (CAN) is having a good season: 60.0 IP, 5 W, 69 K (nice). Schalke’s SS Joey Murphy (ENG) had a 24 game hit streak but went 0/4 against Koln.

In La Liga, Messi (ARG) is heating up. He’s been on a tear through June and now leads the league in AVG (.512), RBI (79), OBP (.589), H (83) R (76), and SB (34). His main competition is Ronaldo (POR), of course who has cooled off a little but still leads in SLG (1.096), OPS (1.655), and WAR (8.0). He had a 29 game hit streak until going hitless against Mallorca. Villarreal’s Victor Tzintzun (ESP) is the league’s best pitcher so far/ He leads in W (8), WAR (4.2), and K/9 (13.4 !!!) and is second in K (92) and K/BB (23.0).

Fan-favorite Zlatan (SWE) is cruising in Serie A. He’s .519 (1st) /.627 (1st)/1.019 (2nd). He leads with 25 HR, 84 H, 73 R, 73 RBI, 165 TB. 1.645 OPS. He’s already talking about what his statue outside the San Siro will look like. Gigi Buffon (ITA) is having a strong season for Juve, despite the team’s slow start (8th, 12 GB). He’s notched 132 K in 70.1 IP. He has 3 complete games and 3 shutouts. Can he help power the Old Lady up the standings?

PSG’s Javi Pastore (ARG) and Lille’s Eden Hazard (BEL) are competing for the batting crown in Ligue 1. Javi leads for now he’s .493/.582/.914 to Hazard’s .464/.593/.843. Javi leads in H (75) and TB (139), Hazard leads in R (53). Neither hitter seems to produce many RBI to go with their hitting. Hazard is only 6th in RBI in the league (43) and neither is on the HR leaderboard. Javi is on a 26 game hitting streak. Can he top Ronaldo’s mark? No pitcher is dominating Ligue 1, but Bordeaux’s Mohamed Darra (FRA)s is having a good season: 0.94 ER (1st), 7-0 (t-2nd) 67.1 IP (t-2nd), 85 K (2nd), 2 shutouts.

Ajax’s Christian Eriksen (DEN) is the Dutch Eredivisie’s hitting leader. He’s .538/.650/1.096. Meanwhile Heracles leads the league in HR (15, LF Jeffery Krause, CAN), RBI (54, RF Johane Bermudes, BRA), and H (67, Montae Bassano, ITA). Meanwhile, Feyenoord’s Tonny Veldhuis (NED) has a 25 game hitting streak ongoing. AZ’s Felix Bergman’s (NED) pitching is shaping up to be the best in the league so far. With 80K, 55.0 IP, and 2.9 WAR, he and teammate Rudolf Bolt (NED) are trying to pull AZ out of 11th place.

Portugal, Belgium, and Russia are only 16 games in, how those leaderboards shape up is to be determined.

The Europa League North batting leaderboard has fractured a bit. Copenhagen (DEN) LF Zach Reed (ENG) leads in AVG (.369), H (103), and R (55). Grasshoppers’ (SUI) 1B Joe Kramer (USA) is tops in RBI (60) and SLG (.649). Astana’s (KAZ) Felicio Soriano (ITA) is first in OBP (.439) and OPS (1.086). The HR leader is Malmo’s Graham McMillan (ENG) with 23. IHK and Astana have the best arms. IHK’s Adrian Adabash (MDV) leads with 1.43 ERA; he’s 9-1 in 88.1 IP with 80 K. Astana’s Devis Aliu (SRB) leads with 12 W and 110.1 IP.

Highlights

Some standings matchups are starting to play out.

A four-way battle in England may be turning into a three-team race, as United have lost 4 in a row. Chelsea benefitted from games against midtable teams, beating up on Everton, Norwich, QPR, Sunderland, and Swansea City. United meanwhile had tough battles against Spurs, Liverpool, City, and Arsenal. The two teams are 2 games into their series and Chelsea have won both. Spurs schedule has benefitted them as well, they’ve dropped points only to United and Liverpool.

Real Madrid and Barcelona have had a strong month ahead of their Champions League campaigns kicking off. There’s also a Classico coming up in July, so both teams will need to pick up points against the rest of the league.

Juventus came into the month at the top of the table but since then have struggled. They dropped two games to Fiorentina, got swept by Roma, and lost one each to Parma and Catania. They’re now in 8th place looking up at the Milan clubs and Roma.

PSG have also struggled. They came into the month in 3rd place, but a miserable month has them back in 6th. Without Champions League baseball ahead, will PSG be able to reset and put some wins together? On the other end of the table, poor Thonon is so, so bad. The closest they’ve been to a win was a 3-0 loss to Olympique Lyon. I’m wondering what the game has against Alpine France to keep this team so bad. Maybe one of the devs got hurt skiing out there once?

At the turn of the month, Southern League bottom feeders Galati faced off against fellow Romanian club Bucharest, 25 places above them. Otelul actually eked out a win in the series, 1-3. That win would be Galati’s only win of the month and there’s no chance the club avoids relegation. Fellow Champions League Group C members Manchester United, Benfica, and Basel must be excited for the prospect of 6 guaranteed wins.
