The state of the AL.......

As of today, the American League has 3 teams on a pace to win 100 games:  Boston (.689 or 111 wins), Houston (.647 or 104), and New York (.646 or 104).   The LA Angels are in the high 90's or a .600 pace.

On the other end, the AL has 3 teams on a pace to lose 100 games:   Baltimore (.284 or 116 losses), KC (.303 or 113), Chicago (.354 or 105).    Texas (.416) and Detroit (.422) are going to lose over 90 games.

What's going on? I don't recall another season in recent memory with a similar situation.

More than likely, some of these teams will cool off or play better in the last two months.    Nevertheless, such lack of parity is bad for the game.
