To win by far the majors’ best division, the AL East, you better be pulverizing the MLB Least.
For there is most certainly a seventh division this year made up of the worst of the worst. There are always bad teams. But the separation from top to bottom feels as great as ever with one-quarter of the season nearly played.
Because, remember, MLB is back to a balanced schedule. Teams in each division are playing two fewer series against each other — down from 19 games against division foes to 13. So, for example, the AL East is not going to have as many chances to beat up each other and/or make up ground against each other.
Yes, this division. All five members have at least 21 wins — no other division has even two. The Yankees completed a three-game sweep of Oakland with an DJ LeMahieu swings for a two-run home run during the fifth inning of a baseball game against the Athletics.There is a comp. In the three full seasons from 2018-2021 , the Orioles lost at least 108 games each year. The AL East winners — the 2018 Red Sox, 2019 Yankees and 2021 Rays — went a combined 51-6 against Baltimore. That was how the East was won.
