pennant races

Aside from the Mets no team in the NL looks very dominant. And now the Mets may slide a bit. When comparing the leagues the AL simply crushes for the most part. There were only two NL teams (Giants and Rockies) who DIDN'T have a losing interleague record. The Dodgers have made great strides but are they a great team? Hard to say at this point.

I'm thinking Yankees, Detroit and Oakland with Chicago as the wild card. Doesn't exactly give me high hopes for the A's going very far (of course they need to take the division first). The common thread with Detroit, NYY and Oakland is that they all have the least runs scored upon them in their division; in simpler terms good pitching and defense.
