The individual races

For those of you old school types, the AL and NL batting average races are fairly close heading to the final week.

In the AL, Magglio Ordonez of Detroit leads Ichiro Suzuki of Seattle by a margin of .354 to .350. Ichiro has 67 more at bats than Ordonez, which will make it harder for him to make up the difference.

In the NL, Chipper Jones of Atlanta is the leader at .340. Matt Holliday of Colorado is second at .337. Holliday has 123 more at bats than Jones.

Other races:

OBP

David Ortiz has the AL lead at .436 and that should get larger as long as Manny Ramirez is out. Ordonez is second at .426.

Todd Helton leads Chipper Jones in the NL OBP race by a margin of .432 to .427. Barry Bonds doesn't have enough PAs to qualify for the lead. He is 28 PAs short. He still might be able to claim the championship depending upon how many PAs he needs by the end of the year.

SLG

Alex Rodriguez has a huge lead over Ortiz, .638 to .598. Carlos Pena is at .597.

The NL race is very close with Prince Fielder of Milwaukee leading Holliday, .613 to .609. Jones is at .601.

There are presently six players in the majors (with enough PAs to qualify) with an OPS over 1.000 for the season: Rodriguez (1.051), Ortiz (1.034), Jones (1.028), Holliday (1.009), Ordonez (1.007), and Fielder (1.000).
