With baseball season under way baseball's toughest division starts out hot. With the juggernauts of the Yankees and Red Sox reloaded for the season, the Rays and the Blue Jays wait for their chance to come and then there are the Orioles just hanging in their. This division maybe a surprise to some people so here are my predictions on how this division will turn out.
1. New York Yankees
This team won the division last year and will likely win it again. Not really anyone else in the division can stop them from doing so. The main issues are is if Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, and Robinson Cano can perform well this year and stay healthy most of the year.
2. Tampa Bay Rays
This team will likely surprise people with a young rotation and great hitters. These guys could possibly make a run at new york but will just settle for having the wild card.
3. Toronto Blue Jays
This is a solid line up with Jose Bautista of course leading the team. They will probably end up one game ahead of the Red Sox.
4. Boston Red Sox
This will be a down year for the Red Sox trying to adjust to Bobby Valentine. The final day collapse will transfer over for this year and the Red Sox will miss the playoffs.
5. Baltimore Orioles
Finally the Orioles, these guys will continue rebuilding and might be a contender in a couple years.
Well there are my predictions for the AL East, we'll just have to see how the season goes.
