AL East Dominance

[Filmstudy]

So far this year in the AL:

AL East: 65-37, .637

AL Rest: 84-113, .426

If you remove the division games (which by definition include .500 divisional record)

AL East: 51-23, .689

The Orioles are one of several teams benefitting from the more balanced schedule.

So far this year the American League East reputation of being the best in Baseball is holding true.  Lots of tough teams here.  Great to see the Orioles right there at the top.

We have the Red Sox up starting Monday. Let's go win the division. And then let's continue to establish dominance in the East... the National League East.

It was annoying for all these years to see the AL East beat itself up while teams in other divisions had it easy with plenty of duds on their schedule. I think more balance is only fair.

I think this balanced schedule might actually expose how bad other divisions really are.
