2006 AL Standings

 August 1, 2006

    The month of July is in the books. My Detroit Tigers have the best record in MLB (68-37). They lead the league in RS and have the best pitching. That results in an incredible RS/AGNT differential of +172. Even with those #'s, Detroit is 2 games down from their Actual record in 2006 at this point of the season. The Chicago White Sox (6.5 GB) and Minnesota Twins (8.5 GB)  had mediocre July's, but still have Detroit within their sights. 

   The New York Yankees had the best July (16-9) in the AL and hold a 6.5 game lead over the solid Toronto Blue Jays. The AL West is the weakest Division in the AL but has the tightest race. The Seattle Mariners and Los Angeles Angels are tied for 1st place at 53-52. The Actual Division winners, the Oakland A's, continued their struggling season in July and are 11 games behind their actual record.
