If you like pennant races, it looks like you'll have to devote your attention to the National League. The Reds and Giants have been passing the lead back and forth for a month; neither team has been more than two games ahead. The Pirates have won 8 of their last 10, and have made it a three-team race.
Will the Reds' stellar staff (Hitt and Mason have won 25 games between them) be able to deliver another pennant to the rooters of Cincinnati?
The Red Sox have been too much for the American League to handle so far. Detroit got as close as 7 games back two weeks ago, but Boston then reeled off 9 in a row and opened the lead back up again.
