May Comes to a Close-AL

Baltimore and Minnesota have a firm grasp on the AL Divisions and seem poised for an ALCS rematch. The Yankees have pitched their way into contention, although their average offense will probably keep them from seriously challenging in the East. In the West, supposed contenders California and Oakland have struggled offensively and posted losing records through the first two months of the season, allowing the might Twins to breeze out to an 8-1/2 game lead despite a sluggish April.
