MLB - Who will be the AL Homerun Leader at end of regular season?

Settled as Other

Miguel Cabrera (Other) 37 HRs

http://mlb.mlb.com/stats/league_leaders.jsp?statType=1&timeFrame=1&sortByStat=HR&baseballScope=AL&timeSubFrame=2008

Background:

We're at the half way point of season, so its time to start getting those regular season leader questions out there.

At the all-star break there are 10 players within five homeruns of the current leader. It should be fun to follow the stats and see who ends the regular season with most homeruns in the American League.

I will list names and percentages according to current stats.


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.

Why isn't Cabrera on the list from Detroit? He's been slumping as of late, but still just 3 off the lead...

I'd guess he wasn't a contender on July 11th when the question was created. Just a guess.
