We're approaching the 100-game mark of the season, and surveying the landscape of the leagues and divisions, the American League East right now looks a bit different than most people thought it would at the start of the season. The New York Yankees have sunk to the bottom, bunched together with the Boston Red Sox and the Toronto Blue Jays, while the Tampa Bay Rays (60-39) and Baltimore Orioles (58-37) are up at the top, tied in first place.
No, you didn't misread that: The Orioles are tied with the Rays for first place in the AL East.
