Weekly Hitter Rankings: Eight is Enough

Weekly Hitter Rankings: Eight is Enough

This article is part of our Weekly Hitter Rankings series.

The second quarter of the season kicks off with a pair of clubs with eight games, courtesy of a makeup Thursday twinbill in Anaheim. The Angels will be at home all week while the opposing Twins open the week with a three-game set at home before heading out on the road.

There are nine teams with seven home tilts, including the Braves, Reds and Rangers who will be home all week. The Diamondbacks will play seven away from the desert.

The Brewers, Cardinals and Royals enjoy a short five-day work week.

The Orioles and Red Sox will lose the DH for their three-game interleague sets over the weekend, while the Brewers pick up the DH for a short two-game series in Kansas City.
