Rob LaColla becomes our first leader to hold first in consecutive updates, with Jim Kushner and Karen McCloskey rounding out the top three. Rob has led in four updates this year, and is our only entrant with multiple first-place finishes. Will Rice hit seven points over the weekend but now sits in fourth place.

As is often the case, the carousel of pool leaders seems driven by the IP category in both leagues. The NL point shuttles between Clayton Kershaw (13 entrants) and Cliff Lee (current leader, Kushner only), with Adam Wainwright (no picks) in the mix as well. The AL IP pick usually belongs to Felix Hernández (4 entrants) with James Shields (current leader, Mike Levine only) occasionally on top. Is the lead in the MLB Predictions Pool dictated by pitching rotation spots, HBPs and freak injuries? Probably.
