Weekly Hitter Rankings: Rays of Sunshine

Written by

Updated on September 1, 2019 11:59PM EST

Despite an inexcusably sparse schedule on Labor Day, every team plays at least six games this week with a dozen clubs slated for the full seven. Only the Reds and Rays play all seven at home with the Rays lining up to face the weak Orioles and Blue Jays staffs, offering the rare chance to play fringe Tampa Bay hitters.

The Phillies, Giants and Rangers are the road warriors, living out of a suitcase for seven tilts. Though, Texas is on an AL East swing, visiting hitter-friendly Yankee Stadium and especially Camden Yards.

Please return Sunday night for the final rankings.

For the week Sept. 2-8.
