MLBDepthCharts.com's June All-Stars (NL)

It couldn't have been a worse month for the Florida Marlins, who finished June with a 5-23 record and -47 run differential. To make things worse, they lost 11.5 games in the standings to the Mets, who had only the fourth best month out of the remaining division rivals with a 16-11 record. Ouch.

The Pirates were the story of the NL Central with a division-best 16-11 record, putting them 2 games above .500 and 2 games behind the Cardinals and Brewers for first place. The Cubs (11-18) and Astros (8-19) continue their free fall as we can now safely say those two teams are looking forward to the offseason.

Despite a struggling offense, the Giants maintain a two-game lead in the West after a 17-11 June, while the Rockies and Diamondbacks are still right behind after going 14-13. The Padres, meanwhile, have yet to throw in the towel as they finished the month with four straight wins. I can't say the same about the Dodgers, who finished with a 10-16 record although they do employ the #3 hitter on this month's All-Star team, who might be the best player in the game right now.
