1968 AL Standings

August 16, 1968

 The Detroit Tigers have been on a tear, basically all season, and have virtually assured themselves an AL Pennant this year. Detroit now holds a 21 game lead over the 2nd place Baltimore Orioles in the middle of August. Only a major collapse of epic proportions will deny the Tigers the title.
