American East. This division always get's the most attention by all the experts. That's because Boston and New York are part of the division. With Baltimore still in a rebuilding process. The Blue Jay's always get off to a good start, but start to falter mid june, it's a good guess Boston and The Yankees will finish in the top two spots in the American East this year. But don't count out the Rays either.
