1982 AL Standings and League Leaders

May 1, 1982

 The month of April is in the books for the 1982 MLB season. The California Angels have gotten off to the best start of any team this year. The Angels have had the best pitching and scored the most runs of any team in the AL. Their run differential is  +63. Don Baylor (.287, 9 HR, 23 RBI), Brian Downing (.270, 8, 21), Doug Decinces (.329, 4, 21), and Rod Carew (.431 BA, 15 RS) have led the offense. Mike Witt (4-1, 1.76 ERA), Ken Forsch (3-0, 2.86) and Luis Sanchez ( 3-0, 2.87, 2 Saves) head a very good pitching staff. As well as the Angels have played, the Seattle Mariners aren't letting them get too far ahead. The Mariners are off to a 15-8 start, 2.5 games behind.
 My Detroit Tigers have also gotten off to a fine start. They lead the AL East with a 14-7 record. All the teams in the AL East, except for Toronto, are into the thick of a good pennant race. Baltimore's Eddie Murray (.444 BA, 10 HR, 26 RBI) has been the overall best hitter in MLB so far this year.
