Wrong - Again !

 Yikes  - so things in the AL east have changed in a matter of several days ,....  my post of August 5 is wrong...  Actually the Rays are still in 1st place,... it;s just that the Sox have lost many more games than anyone would have thought...

The Tampa Bay Rays are in 1st place they have a record of 65 and 44 or a .596 willing percentage.. 

the Yanks are in 3rd place  - 6 games behind them at 58 and 49 or .542 win percentage.. 

 the Rays have 53 games left to play... Let's say they play those game a little worse pace than the 4th place  Blue jays.. let's use .525 win percentage...  53 x .525 = 27.8 - we will round up to 28 wins and 25 losses...

That means  the Yankees would have to play 7 games better than that.

The Yanks have 55 games left... so while the Rays must only win 28 of it games the Yanks would have to win 35 and lose only 20 !! Thats a .640 winning percentage ......  

and let me remind you that the BEST TEAM right now in the Majors is the San Francisco Giants at 68 and 40 - that's .630 .....  SO - STOP IT !! the Yankees are NOT winning the American League East  ! 

SO = bout the only thing that was correct here was that the Rays are winning the AL east - The yanks after their 13 game win streak have now lost 4 in a row... only good news is that Boston has lost right along with NY.
