As the 1966 AL season turns to July, the New York Yankees are showing no signs of letting up on their quest for the pennant. The Yankees went 22-7 in June, tops in the AL. The Baltimore Orioles floundered in June, going 14-19 and are currently in 3rd place, 4.5 GB New York. The Minnesota Twins have been steady all season and look to be a team to be reckoned with. My Detroit Tigers are tied with the Orioles in 3rd place but have trouble on the road and against left handed pitchers. While the Tigers have one of the top offenses in the league, they continue to have one of the worst pitching staffs. The Cleveland Indians are 18 games below their actual record. They went 7-23 in June and look to be completely out of the picture for a run at the pennant. The Chicago White Sox have the best pitching in the AL but their hitting is the worst. If they can start scoring a few more runs, Chicago could become serious contenders. The Kansas City Athletics fell off a bit in June but are still in the hunt.
