The Blue Jays are the American East’s last team standing, a juggernaut that should play deep into October. While the Blue Jays were the only team in their division against which the Red Sox were able to post a winning record (10-9) the Sox struggled to keep pace with everybody else in the division. Their .460 winning percentage (35-41) against AL East foes was even worse than their overall .481 winning percentage.
Considering that the best path into the 2016 postseason is winning the division, the Red Sox face a tall order in seeking to surpass all four teams.
