Over the past week, two of the hottest hitting teams in baseball are the Toronto Blue Jays and the Chicago White Sox.  The Blue Jays, who have been starving for consistent productive offense all year, have been facing the AL East rivals Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees and have been laying an offensive smack down on their opponents.  With the blow out victories of 15-4 (BOS), 14-3 (NYY), 11-0 (BOS) the Jays’ bats were devastating their opponent’s pitching without mercy.  The White Sox have not been slouches either.  Their collective wins of 13-1 (OAK), 13-5 (SEA), 15-3 (SEA) over the Oakland Athletics and Seattle Mariners respectively reminds us why the White Sox has one of the most feared lineups in the American League.

So what does this wealth of hitting translate to in fantasy terms?  Taking a look at the weekly top hitters of the past week, we see that Blue Jays and White Sox hitters take up five of the Top 10 spots.  In fact, if we expanded the rankings a couple of spots, we would have been able to add in Marco Scutaro (Tor - 2B,3B,SS,OF) to the number 12 spot.  Producing a hitting line of - 6 runs, 2 doubles,  2 HRs, 7 RBIs, .400 BA, .448 OBP, Scutaro just barely missed breaking the Top 10 for the week.

With both the Blue Jays and White Sox hitting so well, it is not surprising that their hitters dominated the weekly top hitter rankings for the past week.  Hitting is contagious and when a team gets on a roll the likes of what these two clubs have gone on, fantasy owners of players on these clubs cannot help but smile and enjoy the ride.  Let the good times roll!
