Analysis

Holy s*** the AL sucks. The Mariners/Twins both sit under .500 and would be mediocre NL teams but yet they are legitimate division contenders! Also, California is quite the place for baseball. The Dodgers are the best (no suprise) but a lot of the worst comes in California, and their LA neighbors in the Angels are the worst in baseball. Its a win for small markets as the Rays, Twins, Pirates, and Brew Crew are all performing well. Lastly, the Mets suck. Lol.
