The Best Division in MLB?

[stringer bell]

All five teams in the AL Central won their games last night (5/9) and right now the composite record of the five teams in the AL Central is 103-92, the best record of any of the six division in Major League Baseball. Who'd a thunk it?

Definitely not a pushover division which is one of the biggest reasons the Twins needed to go for it last year. I think the AL East will bounce back a bit, but best division in the AL is possible for the central now that 3 teams are done with their rebuilds.

The NL West is the best division overall. I think the NL East will be better than the AL Central by the end of the year as well.

I agree with all of this.

It will settle down a little with time. Many AL central teams have played a large proportion of their series' against teams like the Orioles, Angles, Rockies, and (obviously) the White Sox. The Tigers look legit though.

Tigers, Cleveland and KC are all solid teams.  I fully expect 1 to begin to struggle due to either injuries or just luck or poor performance.

Twins currently tied with Oakland for third WC spot. (A week ago who would have guessed that!) 4/5 of ALC division. Tigers with best record, Guards tied for 2nd.

AL Central- 109-99

AL East- 99-104

AL West 101-102

Just imagine our record if we played in the soft AL East, currently the worst record in baseball!
