W/L record, winning %, and games back are current as of 7:00pm on 6/21/07.

I say Detroit...

I don't see the Tigers or the Indians loosing a lot in the second half so Minnesota and Chicago will have to have a big few months in order to catch either the Indians or the Tigers.

the only teams in my mind that have a chance are Cleveland, Detroit and Minnesota.

I voted Detroit, but both teams will more than likely make the post season.

The O in Detroit just looks unstopable. And to my surprise, the young arms aren't showing any sign of wearing down after a long post season run last year. If they can fix the bullpen, which is possible (Zumaya comes back, maybe move Robertson in there with The Gambler back) they should cruise the the central pennant.
