It's too early to panic. Here are some other expected contenders records:
Cardinals: 9-7
Reds: 9-8
Giants: 10-7
Dodgers: 7-9(I never believed in them though)
Angels: 5-10
Tigers: 9-7
On the flip side, the ROCKIES are 12-4. Does anyone expect them to keep that up? Or the Red Sox at 11-4? The Braves will be good sure but even their pace will drop.
