With seven weeks of baseball in the books we are starting to see the American League pennant races take shape. The Red Sox and Orioles are bashing their way to the top of the American League East while the Toronto Blue Jays are fighting their way to stay in the race. The Chicago White Sox are pitching their way to an early American league Central lead with the Cleveland Indians nipping at their heels and the Seattle Mariners and Texas Rangers look like the class of the AL West while the Houston Astros look to be the biggest disappointment in the early stages of the 2016 season.
