Baltimore and Oakland Favored in 1972 Pennant Race
New York AP reports Baltimore Orioles look strong with pitching depth led by Palmer and Dobson and outfield crowded by Baylor. Don Baylor may not start. Oakland A’s, backed by Vida Blue and a solid bullpen, aim to repeat. White Sox, Twins, Rangers, and Tigers also feature, with Chicago’s Wood and Bahnsen shaping a possible run.
