I don't see how you're thinking the young pitchers won't hang in. Some pitch more in the minors and of the A's none of them are rookies. In addition they've had some rookies making spot starts which help rest the regulars.
Detroit has shown this is more than just a good half. They will be in the post season. Chicago is fading a bit and MN isn't looking as hot but they still got bats to make it close with Chicago. Can't count any of those three teams out IMO. I agree with you on Cleveland. What players and what a terrible record.
San Diego has terrible starting pitching aside from Peavy. No further explanation needed.
The Angels and Yankees really don't impress me. When they got payrolls that big and aren't completely running away with things it makes me think they are vulnerable.
