AL Mid-Season Report
The Red Sox have been in charge of the American League all season, but recently the Athletics have gotten hot, winning 26 of their last 33 games. Oakland ranks 2nd in offense and 1st in pitching. Four of their five starting pitchers are among the top 6 ERA's in the league.
In Boston, offense is the name of the game. With the likes of
Tris Speaker (.359, 14 HR, 60 RBI),
Gavvy Cravath (.233, 26 HR, 64 RBI),
Harry Hooper (.252, 12 HR, 34 RBI) and rookie
Babe Ruth (.328, 32 HR, 89 RBI), it is no surprise that they lead all MLHR teams with 110 home runs. However, they also rank 2nd in pitching and defense.
Elmer Steele (12-3, 2.14 ERA) leads the AL in ERA and wins. However, closer
Nick Altrock (1-5, 18 Sv, 5.54 ERA) is struggling and at risk of losing his job.
