Analysis
There are some dynamics emerging in both the North Charles Association and South Charles Association. The NCA sees a Brotherhood League with the association's top three records, while the Institute League has a toppling Concord team allowing Fort Hagen to claim first place during the Stags' 9-game losing streak.
In the SCA, five teams look to be playoff bound, though the Railroad League's FHE and Vault 81 are far from done. The Minutemen League sports a trifecta of power in Jamaica Plain, University Point, and Atom.
Speaking of the Red Rockets, they take the #1 spot on this midday of June. Jamaica Plain trails by one game for the CBO's top record, but have been a strong 7-3 in the last 10, tied six other teams for the best record in that span. The Rockets split with Egret (#17), swept Quincy (#19), swept the Ninjas, and the won one of three at the Gunners.
Roxbury still holds the best record in the CBO, though they struggled more than usual in their last 10, going 6-4. The Rad Sox swept Goodneighbor (#15), won two of three over the Yao Guai (#10), split at Atom (#8), and then won one at Diamond City (#6).
Nordhagen Beach comes in at #3 despite trailing in the BL by a game thanks to a 7-3 streak. The Boys split with Abernathy (#23), swept Salem (#22), split with an equally hot Lexington (#14), and then won two of three versus the Witch Hats.
The leaders of the BL, County Crossing, is #4, despite their three-game losing streak. Before that, though, the Bloodbugs had won 10 straight. In the last 10, the Bugs swept Sunshine Tidings (#11), swept Finch Farm (#21), swept the Radstags (#16), and then got swept at Easy Town (#7), the third-best team in the NCA.
At #5, we see the always-tough University Point Deathclaws, going 7-3 in the last 10. The Claws started with a split against the Swatters, won two of three at the Hancocks, swept FHE, and then won two of three over Spectacle Island (#24).
