FCL Nationals (8-6, T2nd, ½ GB, FCL East)
Parity still reigns in the FCL East, as the top five teams are within a game and a half of first place. Thus far, the F-Nats have the fifth-best pitching staff in the FCL (4.21 vs 5.28 R/G lg. avg.) … and the fifth-worst hitters (4.71). This week, the F-Nats take on the two Astros teams for three games (Mon-Tue, Thu) and the Cardinals on Friday and Saturday.

DSL Nationals (8-7, 4th place, 3½ GB, DSL South)
The D-Nats won just once last to drop into 4th place in the nine-team DSL South. Like their counterparts in Florida, the pitching is quite strong — 3.73 R/G vs. 5.43 lg. avg. — but unlike the stateside crew, the DSL hitting is slightly better at 5.53 R/G.
