Orioles -- added Miley and Pearce

Red Sox -- added Pomeranz and Abad

Blue Jays -- added Feldman, Liriano, Benoit and Upton

Did I forget anyone?

Red Sox picked up Ziegler in early July.

We got Ondrusek.

FWIW, Blue Jays also got Mike Bolsinger, who has been the starting pitcher in about a dozen Dodger games in the past couple years.

Boston is not a bad road team. We need to start winning on the road if we are going to win division.

I agree that we need to play better on the road. Boston's been solid on the road so far this year, but I wonder how the very steady diet of road games will wear on them over the next 5-6 weeks. It's tiring to play that many road games in such a compressed time period with very few days off.

On paper, I think Toronto should win the division. Their pitching is really good and their hitting has been very strong the last few months. But they don't play the games on paper.

I have seen the BJs as having the strongest roster since their pre-deadline move a year a, and I still see them as slight favorites. I say "slight" because of their veteran hitters' propensity for injuries as the season wears on.
