Hitting Picks Up In July, But Only Slightly

Here are the OPS levels in the NL by month starting in April:

.709
.702
.699
.714

For the whole season, the NL has .704. For all of last year it was .723. In the first half it was .729.

Now the AL:

.713
.720
.719
.732

For the whole season, the AL has .719. For all of last year it was .734. In the first half it was .741.

So quite a drop off for both leagues this year.
