Things are a little different in the American League East. The Boston Red Sox would be fighting for the AL Central lead but instead are at the bottom of their division. They got there partially from the bottom completely falling out on them for a while. In the last two games before the break and the first game after the break, they were outscored 55-8. Yes, that’s over three games. But they appear to be playing slightly better baseball, if only for a few games with some wins in Houston against an excellent Astros team, even with a loss yesterday.
