Joe Vertz is making a serious bid at the triple crown. I'd argue he's got HR's locked up and barring a nightmare week probably RBI's too? Batting Average always seems to be the one that will fluctuate more than the first two over the final months.
The Vegas two-headed monster of Noh and Sato could possibly end up 1-2 in all three triple crown categories. Detroit has been hot and shaved the lead to 3.5. Vegas, San Antonio are both locks while Chicago and Ohio, Pittsburgh and Washington and possibly even San Diego and LA could end up good races. The Missions have been insanely good since an early struggle.
