Aaron Judge of the Yankees and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. of the Blue Jays took the day off on Monday, so Judge remains atop the Baseball Musings Batter Rankings and Guerrero ranks fourth. Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman of the Dodgers did play, and they rank second and fifth respectively. Ohtani hit his seventeenth home run of the season to take the MLB lead, while Freeman went one for four with a double in a 9-5 Diamondbacks win. Three games no separate the top four teams in the NL West as the Dodgers lost four in a row.

Cal Raleigh of the Mariners went 0 for 4 in a 5-1 win over the White Sox and sits in third place. We should continue to see lots of churn in three through five as ten points separate three from thirteen, and ten points separate four from twenty five!

William Contreras of the Brewers posted the best game score of the day, a 79. He went four for four with a walk and two doubles in a 5-4 win over the Orioles. Contreras gets on base this season with a .370 OBP, a hallmark of his career. His power is down, however, as he slugs just .371 this season. Maybe the two doubles is a sign that things are picking up.
