This article is part of our Weekly Hitter Rankings series.
A pair of early week doubleheaders supplement an already busy week, with AL East rivals Yankees and Red Sox set up for high-scoring weeks. The Red Sox are in friendly Fenway for seven, facing the weak Royals and Angels staffs. The Bronx Bombers are traveling all week, but with stops in Baltimore and Toronto, runs will be plentiful.
Two of the weaker offenses pick up an eighth game, rendering the fantasy-worthy hitters on the Tigers and Marlins a little more desirable this week. On the flip side, the Astros and Mariners enjoy a pair of off days.
As always, these are preliminary rankings. Please come back Sunday night for the final version.
For the week Aug 5-11.
