Week 7 is in the books and the playoff picture is taking shape. The top two teams earn a bye. The next four grab the last playoff spots. So there are two races on right now: who deserves the top two and a week off, and who claims the final spots before the season runs out.
Here is where everybody stands, with a hitting rank and a pitching rank for all nine.
The Summit (top two, byes)
1. Wiffle House (4-0)
Hitting Rank: 1 | AVG .577 (1st) | OPS 1.504 (1st) | HR 7 (3rd) Pitching Rank: 2 | ERA 1.33 (1st) | WHIP 1.50 (1st) | K 30 (8th)
Still undefeated. No loss since 2024. Best bats in the league and a staff that barely gives anything up. Only knock is games played, just four so far. 100 edges them for the top pitching spot on the no-hitter and the close ones, but until somebody actually beats Wiffle House, the crown stays put.
If you have a problem with the ranking, take it up with the commish.
2. 100% Real Juice (7-1)
Hitting Rank: 4 | AVG .405 (5th) | OPS 1.068 (4th) | HR 7 (3rd) Pitching Rank: 1 | ERA 2.71 (2nd) | WHIP 1.79 (2nd) | K 62 (3rd)
Seven and one, and that one loss feels like a fluke. This is a pitching team, plain and simple. Hunter and Brickett are the best one-two on the mound in the league, and Brickett's no-hitter in extras is the best game anybody has thrown all year. Bats are middle of the pack, but when you give up almost nothing you do not need to score much. Only Wiffle House keeps them from the top.
The Climb (playoff spots, 3-6)
3. Sheryl Crows (4-2)
Hitting Rank: 6 | AVG .381 (6th) | OPS .994 (6th) | HR 3 (8th) Pitching Rank: 3 | ERA 4.98 (3rd) | WHIP 2.62 (3rd) | K 36 (7th)
Ranked ahead of a better record on purpose. The Crows swept the Swingdome head-to-head, and they have really showed up on the mound this year. The back mound, that is. Third-best staff in the league, Evan Gray (2.64 ERA) leading the way. John Trupin keeps producing at the plate. Quiet lineup overall, but the arms keep them in every game. If the offense wakes up, watch out.
4. Swingdome (5-3)
Hitting Rank: 3 | AVG .503 (2nd) | OPS 1.305 (3rd) | HR 8 (2nd) Pitching Rank: 4 | ERA 7.89 (4th) | WHIP 2.79 (4th) | K 65 (T-1st)
Deepest lineup in the league. Steve McGinley is hitting .750, the best average anywhere. The bats are real. The arms are the question, middle of the pack, and the Crows just swept them. Fix the pitching and they are right back in the top three.
5. Bilabial Stops (4-2)
Hitting Rank: 2 | AVG .469 (3rd) | OPS 1.382 (2nd) | HR 9 (1st) Pitching Rank: 7 | ERA 13.58 (7th) | WHIP 4.12 (7th) | K 42 (6th)
One of the best offenses in the league, most home runs and second in OPS, led by Eddie Brown (.737 AVG, 1.905 OPS). The pitching is the opposite story at 7th, and there is a reason: two of the Stops' best arms from recent years, Brown and Paul Rogers, have barely pitched this season, Rogers nursing an injury. Max Melendez (23 K, W3 Pitcher of the Week) is holding the staff together. When the aces are healthy and on the mound, this is a different team.
6. West Coast Washout (3-5)
Hitting Rank: 7 | AVG .366 (7th) | OPS .977 (7th) | HR 5 (6th) Pitching Rank: 5 | ERA 8.63 (5th) | WHIP 3.10 (5th) | K 43 (5th)
This is a team worth keeping an eye on. Tony Nipert (.563, 2 HR, W7 Batter of the Week) and Andy Cahill (1.591 OPS, who actually edges Nipert on rate) are two of the more dangerous bats around. The record is 3-5, but with a core like that, you have to wonder what this team becomes if the rest of the lineup wakes up. Lots to like.
Base Camp (7-9, fighting to get in)
7. Caught Cooking (2-6)
Hitting Rank: 9 | AVG .330 (9th) | OPS .857 (9th) | HR 4 (7th) Pitching Rank: 6 | ERA 10.05 (6th) | WHIP 3.66 (6th) | K 65 (T-1st)
They have one of the best arms in the league and not much around it yet. Will Hippe (2.60 ERA, 44 K, league strikeout leader) is must-watch every time out, and James McAfee (.478, W2 Batter of the Week) can swing it. The record is 2-6 because the lineup goes quiet, but give Hippe a few runs and this team steals games. The pieces of something are here.
8. Berserkers (1-5)
Hitting Rank: 5 | AVG .428 (4th) | OPS 1.007 (5th) | HR 2 (9th) Pitching Rank: 8 | ERA 15.74 (8th) | WHIP 4.18 (8th) | K 20 (9th)
Better bats than 1-5 suggests. Conner Iverson (.545, 1.297 OPS) and Wallace Tillman (10 RBI) can flat-out hit, and the lineup sits middle of the pack despite the record. The pitching is the anchor right now, but there is real upside on the mound: Matt Bennett has big potential, and if it clicks he is the arm this team builds around. Bats plus a developing Bennett, and the Berserkers turn a corner in a hurry.
9. Chicken n Wiffles (2-8)
Hitting Rank: 8 | AVG .342 (8th) | OPS .957 (8th) | HR 6 (5th) Pitching Rank: 9 | ERA 16.46 (9th) | WHIP 4.80 (9th) | K 45 (4th)
Don't sleep on the Wiffles. They put up runs with anybody, third in the league in raw scoring, led by Liam Munro (12 RBI, 2 HR, W3 Batter of the Week). Noah Purcell already flashes real strikeout stuff (31 K), so the arm talent is coming. The offense is there and the K stuff is there. Once it clicks on the mound, this team is a lot more dangerous than 2-8 suggests.
Top 5 Hitters, 2026 season
1. Steve McGinley, Swingdome
.750 AVG | 2.208 OPS | 3 HR | 11 RBI | 24 PA
Leads the league in average, and it has not been close all year. He hit two home runs in Week 1 and never cooled off. The whole Swingdome offense runs through him. That 2.208 OPS tells you the rest. He is doing damage on contact, every time he squares one up.
2. Eddie Brown, Bilabial Stops
.737 AVG | 1.905 OPS | 1 HR | 12 RBI | 25 PA
One of the best hitters nobody is talking about. These are top-three numbers, hiding in plain sight on a mid-table team. BS sits at 4-2 and none of that is on Brown. He is carrying his weight twice over.
3. Phillip Thomas, Wiffle House
.696 AVG | 1.905 OPS | 3 HR | 18 RBI | 26 PA
Eighteen RBI. In four games. That is the league lead, and yes, it belongs to the commissioner. Thomas is the engine for an undefeated team, and he pitches too (1.20 ERA, 18 K in 10 IP). He also took home Week 1 Batter of the Week. When the boss shows up like this, everybody else has a problem.
4. Chris Balph, 100% Real Juice
.577 AVG | 1.645 OPS | 3 HR | 16 RBI | 31 PA
Most plate appearances of anyone on this list, at 31, and still posting numbers like these. Balph hits behind one of the best staffs in the league, so he does not always have to be the hero. When 100 needs him to be, he is. Sixteen RBI and 3 bombs from the heart of a 7-1 order.
5. Alex Hatch, Swingdome
.615 AVG | 1.629 OPS | 1 HR | 11 RBI | 17 PA
Swingdome's second gun behind McGinley. Hatch hits for contact and drives guys in, and he has done it efficiently in only 17 trips to the plate.
Honorable mentions: Andy Cahill (WCW, .588, 1.591 OPS), Tony Nipert (WCW, .563 season, 1.590 OPS, W7 Batter of the Week), Quinn MacWatters (SD, .613, 15 RBI in 35 PA), Liam McFeely (WH, .591, 13 RBI, and zero strikeouts on the year, which is absurd).
Top 5 Pitchers, 2026 season
1. Aaron Hunter, 100% Real Juice
0.71 ERA | 1.41 WHIP | 32 K | 17 IP
One of the best arms in the league and the engine of 100's run prevention. An ERA under one across 17 innings is the kind of number that wins a Cy Young. He hit 1.000 as a batter in Week 3, too, because of course he did.
2. Will Hippe, Caught Cooking
2.60 ERA | 2.64 WHIP | 44 K | 23.1 IP
League strikeout leader by a country mile, and the unluckiest man in the league. Forty-four K in 23.1 innings, a 16-strikeout night in extras, and a loss to show for it. He is good enough to be an ace on a winning team. He just is not on one. (The high WHIP is real, by the way. When you strike out that many guys, you can put a few on base and still strand them.)
3. Phillip Thomas, Wiffle House
1.20 ERA | 1.50 WHIP | 18 K | 10 IP
Pitching for the undefeated team, and pitching well. Part of a nasty WH staff with his brother. The commissioner is also one of the better arms in the league, which we are choosing not to think too hard about.
4. Sam Thomas, Wiffle House
1.50 ERA | 1.50 WHIP | 12 K | 8 IP
Thomas and Thomas. The second half of the reason Wiffle House has not lost. Every game they have played, this staff has been the difference.
5. Adam Brickett, 100% Real Juice
3.23 ERA (season) | 1.38 WHIP | 27 K | 13 IP | W7: 0.00 ERA, 0.25 WHIP, 20 K
One of the best WHIPs of any pitcher with real innings. And in Week 7 he had maybe the single best game of the season by anyone: 20 strikeouts, no hits, a 0.25 WHIP. The season ERA does not capture him. That Week 7 line does.
Honorable mentions: Dan Hanower (CC, 2.57 ERA, steady for a team that needed it), Evan Gray (SHRL, 2.64 ERA, 15 K, big part of their surge), Max Melendez (BS, W3 Pitcher of the Week, 10 K that day).
