Trailing 30 - May 24

Here is an explanation of this weekly feature, listing the best and worst of past 30 days, made possible by FanGraph's Leaders application. Comment for the week: Notice how the fifth-worst team in the American League has played .500 ball over the past 30 days. Does that mean the AL is beating the NL in interleague play yet again? Yes it does: The AL is 37-29 so far this year in interleague play, winning 56% of games played between the leagues. Over 162 games, that's equivalent to winning 91.
