The coming major league season hinges on pitching strength across clubs. In the American League Boston Red Sox lead in form, with Griffith’s staff second. White Sox and Tigers may contend with strong defenses. Browns eye pennant chances if pitchers perform. Yankees, Athletics, and Cleveland look weaker on paper.
