But then you consider who these three teams are. <br /><br />The Tigers fold in the second half of the season pretty much every year. Right now, the Tigers media is already writing about it and you know it's going to be brought up to the players and manager regularly. It becomes self-fulfilling at some point. Until they have a strong second half, I'll continue to expect them to fade.<br /><br />The Indians have basically playing .500 ball within the AL. They did well in interleague play but that's over with. They will need to make a big trade or two in order to keep up and that just isn't their style. I won't be surprised to see them end up in 4th place.<br /><br />The White Sox have (a) the worst intradivisional record in the AL Central, at 8-16, and (b) have the most games remaining within the division. <br /><br />The Twins have 12 straight games within the division after the break... after those games, we'll know better who are contenders and who are pretenders.JimCrikkethttp://knuckleballsblog.comnoreply@blogger.com
