It should be a great week for offense as half the league plays at least seven games, including the Indians and Twins with eight. Everyone else has six scheduled contests, except the Mariners, the only club with five.

| Boston Red Sox | 3 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 90 | 107 | Boston's offense even worse than Orioles, but better sense they'll get going. |
| Chicago Cubs | 2 | 5 | 0 | 7 | 103 | 104 | Draw Scherzer and Strasburg to begin the week, then finish in Cincinnati, facing three hittable hurlers. |
| Chicago White Sox | 2 | 5 | 7 | 0 | 113 | 107 | Continue to crush southpaws, with seven at home facing 2 LHP, good week to use Pale Hose bats. |
| Cincinnati Reds | 1 | 6 | 6 | 1 | 125 | 107 | Losing Monday off-day to play make-up game in St. Louis (traveling from DC), then head home the rest of the week. |

| Colorado Rockies | 1 | 5 | 0 | 6 | 84 | 91 | Rockies hit the road for three in AT&T then a weekend set in Phoenix against three very good right-handers. |
| Detroit Tigers | 1 | 6 | 7 | 0 | 85 | 86 | Home all week, off-day Monday but grab seventh game with a doubleheader on Saturday. |
| Houston Astros | 2 | 4 | 6 | 0 | 104 | 99 | Only six games, all in Minute Maid. However, note the Astros averaging 10th fewest runs scored in home games this season. |
| Kansas City Royals | 2 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 77 | 78 | Doubleheader Saturday helps, but Royals lined up to face several solid starters this week |
| Los Angeles Angels | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 | 96 | 97 | Open crosstown without DH, then home for five. Slated to face five southpaws, not a good week to be Kole Calhoun. |
| Los Angeles Dodgers | 2 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 90 | 100 | Two in Anaheim with DH. Dodgers quietly have the sixth highest scoring offense in the league and are only now getting healthy. |
| Miami Marlins | 1 | 5 | 3 | 3 | 121 | 94 | Short slate with only six games, but finish week with huge park upgrade with trio in Miller Park. |
| Milwaukee Brewers | 1 | 5 | 3 | 3 | 139 | 111 | Brewers offense really scuffling in June, averaging fourth fewest runs in the league for the month. |
| Minnesota Twins | 6 | 2 | 0 | 8 | 68 | 83 | Eight road games (Saturday doubleheader), facing 6 LHP, could be slow week for Mauer, Kepler, Rosario and Castro. |
| New York Mets | 1 | 5 | 3 | 3 | 98 | 98 | Mets bats dormant in June, averaging fifth fewest runs per game in this span. Begin week in South Beach. |
| New York Yankees | 3 | 4 | 0 | 7 | 109 | 104 | Away from the Bronx all week. Open with three straight southpaws, then finish against quartet of RHP. |
| Oakland Athletics | 0 | 6 | 3 | 3 | 92 | 90 | Facing six righties, Joyce, Olson, Brugman and Maxwell all in play, but hopefully you can do better. |
| Philadelphia Phillies | 1 | 5 | 0 | 6 | 107 | 112 | Finish wrap-around series at home on Monday, then head out west, but add DH in Seattle for a pair. |
| Pittsburgh Pirates | 1 | 5 | 6 | 0 | 101 | 76 | Pittsburgh offense quietly productive in June, look to keep in going at home, but facing several strong RHP |
| San Diego Padres | 3 | 3 | 6 | 0 | 74 | 105 | Padres are the lowest scoring team in the league though Pirela, Myers and Renfroe still in play with 3 LHP on the ledger. |
| San Francisco Giants | 1 | 5 | 3 | 3 | 80 | 75 | Giants have lowest home run total in the league, not getting any favors with a weekend set in PNC Park. |
| Seattle Mariners | 0 | 5 | 2 | 3 | 96 | 100 | Only team with five games, the last three in Anaheim, but at least the Halos hurlers are far from angelic. |
| St. Louis Cardinals | 4 | 3 | 4 | 3 | 103 | 95 | Extra game with Monday make-up game at home before heading out for three in Arizona then back home to end the week. |
| Tampa Bay Rays | 0 | 6 | 0 | 6 | 109 | 91 | Begin the week in Pittsburgh, so no DH, but then head to Baltimore and huge park upgrade. |
| Texas Rangers | 2 | 5 | 0 | 7 | 111 | 106 | All seven games away from Arlington, draw five straight RHP before a pair of LHP to close out the weekend. |
| Toronto Blue Jays | 3 | 3 | 6 | 0 | 109 | 109 | Home, but only six games, first three facing incendiary Orioles starters before Red Sox come to town. |
| Washington Nationals | 1 | 6 | 4 | 3 | 89 | 93 | Full seven game slate, Nationals run-scoring pace has waned in June, but they's still a top-ten offense for the month. |
