Fantasy Baseball 2013 - 3 Team Race

Currently, in my league, three teams are in a virtual tie for 1st place, and have begun to separate themselves from the pack. With a mere 1.5 points between them, they are neck & neck & neck, and have created some distance, being that the 4th place team lags more than 15 points behind.

The following are the top 3 teams (my team* is in 2nd):

Judging by rosters, I like my chances, even though injuries are killing me right now. But once Stanton, Votto and Wright get going in the HR department, Michael Bourn gets back to stealing bases, Cueto returns to form and Gallardo & Hanrahan figure it out, my team should be pretty tough to beat.
