Who would have figured that the Pittsburgh Pirates and the San Francisco Giants, the two teams most experts figure to fight it out for the pennant, would rank No. 7 and No. 10? That Pittsburgh's Matty Alou, who led the National League in batting last year with a .342 average, would be hitting .217?
