Alton gets out on top in 2011 with a nice 4-1 start. Breese, the 2010 Champs, lost SP John Kennedy to Columbia in free agency during the off-season, but added to their offense. Nonetheless, they stumble out of the gate and find themselves 3 games out already. Edwardsville, Belleville, O'Fallon, and Jerseyville all have winning weeks and share 2nd place.
Starting this year, I've added a new column to the standings ("Odds"). This is a simulated estimate of each team's chances of winning the half.
