The Rays lead in the division has widened to 6.0 games over the New York Yankees, 8.0 games over the Boston Red Sox, 13.5 game lead over the Toronto Blue Jays, and the mathematically eliminated Baltimore Orioles sitting 41.5 games back.
The Rays lead in the division isn’t the only place where they have separated themselves. They hold a 5.0 game lead over the Houston Astros for the best record in the American League.
