Prospects for baseball pennant race at halfway mark
As of the halfway point around July 4, the American League leaders look strongest with the Indians ahead, backed by power and pitching, the White Sox fast and capable, and the Yankees juggling a patchwork lineup. In the National League the Giants appear improved with solid pitching if it holds, the Dodgers hampered by injuries but capable if health returns, and the Braves and Cardinals showing spark but needing pitching. The Reds and Cubs and Pirates linger with pitching gaps, while the Phillies hover and the Dodgers and Indians hold a slight edge for the long haul.
