There are multiple reasons why the Yankees have the best record in the American League.
The biggest one is how they have smothered the AL East.
With Domingo German pitching like a Cy Young candidate and Edwin Encarnacion’s three-run double, the Yankees rolled past the pathetic Blue Jays, 4-0, on Friday night in front of a sold-out Yankee Stadium crowd of 47,162.
The victory enabled the Yankees (58-31) to stay 6 ¹/u2082 games ahead of the second-place Rays in the AL East.
