July 1, 2006
We've reached the month of July in the 2006 MLB season. My AL Central leading Detroit Tigers (53-27) have the best record in the AL. Their RS/RA Differential (+137) is tops in the league. Detroit was an AL best 22-5 in June, but they needed that level of play to remain ahead of the Chicago White Sox (49-30, 3 GB) and the Minnesota Twins (46-32, 6 GB). Detroit boasts the top pitching in the league while the offense is 1st in Runs Scored and 3rd in team Batting Average. Kenny Rodgers (11-4) and Jeremy Bonderman (10-3) head the Tiger's starting pitching staff. Bonderman's 118 K's are 2nd in the AL. Carlos Guillen's .336 BA is 3rd in the league and Craig Monroe's 45 RBI are 5th. Chicago has been getting excellent offensive contributions from Jim Thome (28 HR, 70 RBI) and Jermaine Dye (26, 70). They are 2nd and 3rd in the AL in those 2 categories.
The New York Yankees (48-29) lead the AL East by 4 games over the 2nd place Toronto Blue Jays (45-34). NY's Alex Rodriguez (.322 BA, 22 HR) leads the league in RBI (72) and Derek Jeter is 2nd in BA (.347). Mike Mussina has the best ERA (2.66), is 4th in K's (107), and Mariano Rivera is 5th in Saves (21). Toronto's Roy Halladay (11-3, 3.01) is tied for the league lead in Wins and 4th in ERA.
The Seattle Mariners (44-37) lead the AL West by 4 games over the Los Angeles Angels (39-40). Felix Hernandez (10-5), Richie Sexson (25 HR, 4th in AL; 54 RBI), and Ichiro Suzuki (.328, 23 SB; 1st in AL) are top preformers on the Mariners. LA's Vlad Guerrero (25 HR, 61 RBI) and John Lackey (2.77 ERA: 2nd in AL) head a good but under performing Angels team.
Baltimore's Miguel Tejada (.392 BA, 19 HR, 67 RBI) has the top BA in the AL and Boston's David Ortiz leads in HR (28).
