Here is an explanation of this weekly feature. This entry lists the best and worst for the past 30 days of the 2016 regular season, through games of Sunday, May 29.
Comment of the week: These 30 days (April 30 – May 29) roughly correspond to the month of May, but rather than speculate who’ll win each league’s pitcher and player of the month awards (three of them seem pretty obvious to me), let’s talk about some reversals of fortune. Last week, the White Sox had the fourth best record in the AL over the past 30 days. Now they have the third worst. The Phillies were third best in the NL a week ago, now they’re fifth worst. On the other hand, a week ago the Brewers had the third worst record in the NL over the past 30 days and the Dodgers the fourth worst. Now they’re fourth and third best, respectively.
