Although it’s been tougher for the five American League East Division teams lately, with no team playing above .500 in their last ten games, this section remains by far the best in the league. the MLB.
However, there has not been much movement in the ranking of the latter for a few weeks.
However, this may change in the coming weeks.
The New York Yankees are starting an easier portion of their schedule by July 26.
During this period, the Bronx Bombers will face six teams with a record of less than .500. Even if it is much more difficult since the loss of Aaron Judge, they will have to take advantage of this sequence.
Same story on the side of the Toronto Blue Jays, who will only have the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Los Angeles Dodgers as opponents with a positive record during the same period.
For their part, it will be a little more difficult for the Baltimore Orioles and the Tampa Bay Rays. The pendulum has to swing back for the extremely easy schedule of the latter at the start of this campaign.
As for the Boston Red Sox, who are slowly returning to the low standards we expected at the start of the season, a fairly balanced schedule in the next month could serve them.
All this to say that positions two through four are likely to move by the trade deadline.
