no it's not
all AL east teams are either at or above .500 how do you stay competitive in a division where one half game is the decider between the playoffs and sitting on the couch? |

as extemmas said, the division is so competitive that it can completely change in a matter of two days the teams are so good, that none of them might post a losing record this year, wheras runner ups in other divisions can be ten games behind when the regular season ends |

well they're the tankees no stopping them
a division's strength is usually measured based on the difference between the top team and the bottom team, and the strength of all those teams. going .500 in baseball is tough, and for five teams to be over .500 in the same division is just an impossiblity

If the playoffs stopped today.
3 AL West. 1 AL Central. 1 AL East.
I would think that strength of division is who makes the playoffs. |
