American League East Preview

The New York Yankees are slight favorites to win the A.L. East.

As was the case last season when they won it all, the Boston Red Sox are the second choice.

I believe that race is far too close to call. Thus no prediction.

However, I feel strongly that the three teams given little if any choice to win the division, the Toronto Blue Jays, Tampa Bay Rays and Baltimore Orioles will all improve.

Almost certainly, the Red Sox will not win as many as 108 games–I say they will win around 92 and the Orioles will almost certainly improve on last year’s (45-117) mark.

Let’s say they will lose less than 100 games.
