1 2 Diamondbacks 26-15 The D-backs' hottest hitter in May has been an unlikely source, catcher Chris Snyder (.438 BA, 1.238 OPS).
 2 9 Cubs 25-16 Ted Lilly is flowering in May: The left-hander is 3-0 with a 3.60 ERA and has walked just four while striking out 25.
 3 12 Rays 24-17 James Shields has given up only one home run -- a solo shot -- in his past seven starts (47 innings pitched).

 5 1 Athletics 23-19 Rookie Daric Barton went 1-for-16 as the A's were shut out three times in their last six games.
 6 11 Marlins 23-17 Mark Hendrickson already has more wins this season (five) than he had all of 2007 (four).

 8 7 Phillies 23-19 Brett Myers has allowed the most home runs (15) in the majors, and has a 7.62 ERA in his past five starts.
 9 3 Red Sox 24-19 Jacoby Ellsbury is a perfect 24-for-24 on stolen-base chances in his career, including 15-for-15 in 2008.
 10 6 Angels 24-19 With Chone Figgins on the DL, Reggie Willits and Gary Matthews Jr. have combined to go 4-for-20 in the leadoff spot.
 11 5 Dodgers 21-19 Turnaround time? Andruw Jones has three hits in his last nine at-bats, with a HR, two RBIs and only one K.  
 12 4 Cardinals 24-19 Izzy gonna close again? He has now blown five saves as the closer and one as a set-up man.  
 13 8 Braves 20-20 The Braves are an impressive 10 games over .500 at home, but are a poor 10 games under .500 on the road.
 14 16 White Sox 20-20 Thanks, D-backs. Carlos Quentin leads the AL in home runs (10) and ranks second in RBIs (34) and slugging (.581).
 15 10 Mets 20-19 Chants of "fire Willie, fire Willie" could soon start from the Shea Stadium faithful if the Mets continue their uninspired play.
