This article is part of our Weekly Hitter Rankings series.
June has a tough act to follow as the second most ever homers for a month were slugged in May. Considering all the weather issues, that's even more impressive.
Speaking of weather issues, not there are a pair of doubleheaders scheduled for Saturday, along with a makeup game with the Orioles spending a scheduled off-day on Thursday in the nation's capital.

| Cleveland Indians | 2 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 112 | 113 | Only five games but first two are in Coors Field, making it a tough call on Zimmer and Encarnacion |
| Colorado Rockies | 1 | 5 | 2 | 4 | 93 | 119 | Charlie Blackmon and Nolan Arenado no-brainers, everyone else is a matchup play |
| Detroit Tigers | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 87 | 103 | Finish with a weekend series in Fenway Park versus three southpaws for those in NFBC leagues |
| Houston Astros | 1 | 6 | 3 | 4 | 90 | 89 | Not only are the on a serious heater, they're facing several weak arms in seven game week. |
| Kansas City Royals | 1 | 6 | 4 | 3 | 77 | 91 | Weekend set in Petco Park means no designated hitter for an already subpar offense. |
| Los Angeles Angels | 2 | 4 | 0 | 6 | 102 | 100 | Albert Pujols is the only automatic start, Trout's absence has domino effect throughout lineup |
| Los Angeles Dodgers | 2 | 4 | 6 | 0 | 117 | 96 | Only six games, but all at home. Facing 2 LHP, look for better than Adrian Gonzalez and Chase Utley |
| Miami Marlins | 0 | 7 | 0 | 7 | 92 | 93 | Seven games good, but tough draws in Wrigley Field and PNC Park facing strong pitching |
| Milwaukee Brewers | 2 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 132 | 110 | Good week for Brewers bats with weekend series in Chase Field, so minimal park downgrade |
| Minnesota Twins | 2 | 4 | 0 | 6 | 85 | 88 | Terrible week for Twins sticks, plus losing designated hitter for weekend set in AT&T Park. |
| New York Mets | 1 | 5 | 0 | 6 | 102 | 100 | Note Saturday doubleheader in Atlanta, other than that, nothing to see here |
| New York Yankees | 2 | 4 | 6 | 0 | 146 | 125 | Chance for AL East leaders to extend lead, welcoming Red Sox then Orioles to the Big Apple. |
| Oakland Athletics | 3 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 90 | 83 | Saturday twinbill in St. Peterburg, but still tough week for A's LHB. RHB Pinder, Plouffe, Healy and Canha in good spot. |
| Philadelphia Phillies | 1 | 6 | 0 | 7 | 99 | 94 | One of weakest offenses in the league on the road for seven, not great for fringe Phillies. |
| Pittsburgh Pirates | 2 | 4 | 4 | 2 | 106 | 86 | Only six games, but at least Bucs gain designated hitter for a pair in Camden Yards. |
| San Diego Padres | 2 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 92 | 107 | Pretty average set-up for a below average offense, Hopefully you can do better. |
| San Francisco Giants | 1 | 6 | 3 | 4 | 110 | 95 | Four in Miller park vs. all RHP good for Denard Span, Joe Panik, Brandon Belt and Brandon Crawford. |
| Seattle Mariners | 3 | 3 | 6 | 0 | 110 | 102 | Six at home, facing three southpaws bodes well for Guillermo Heredia, Danny Valencia and Taylor Motter. |

| Toronto Blue Jays | 3 | 3 | 0 | 6 | 95 | 92 | Swing through AL West (Oakland and Seattle) not great, but three LHP helps righty-heavy lineup |
| Washington Nationals | 3 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 98 | 98 | Full week but facing three left-handers, including Clayton Kershaw, at least Harper will be back |
