Your Baltimore Orioles are now in sole possession of first place in the AL. The Rays are riding a 5-game losing streak and will probably slip further behind as the season goes on. They are only 40-37 since beginning the season at 20-3. The Rangers are still lurking at the top and only 1.5GB of the O’s. They have a tough 6-game stretch coming up though and several of their series on the backend are against teams above .500. Don’t look now but the Blue Jays are on the move. They have the 4th best record in the AL and are only 5.5GB of the O’s. The AL East and Pennant should be a fun watch down the stretch. No team has really separated themselves and it will be close the rest of the season.
