GB in baseball standings stands for "games back" or "games behind." The top team in a division will have a dash or a zero in this slot of the standings. "STRK" stands for "streak," and shows each team's current win or loss streak, with "W" indicating wins and "L" indicating losses. The "L10" column depicts each team's win-loss record for the past 10 games, with the number of wins represented first. The "Home" and "Road" or "Away" columns show the win-loss records for each team for games played in its home stadium and as the visiting team in road games. The "PCT" column shows the teams' winning percentages, which is calculated by dividing the number of games won by the total number of games played and rounding up or down to three digits past the decimal.
They struggled to get around Rafael Devers and Xander Bogarts, which could equate to an early expiration date for their season.The "W" and "L" columns of the standings list the number of games each team has won and lost, respectively. They have the toughest chance for nearby teams because AL East was one of the toughest teams in all of baseball. The Red Sox have been pretty bad at times this season, but are still six games away from a playoff stage. Baltimore will have plenty of opportunities to make up ground in the division, but O’s will likely need to focus solely on securing a Wild Card spot. They’ve been going through the second half of the season on a strong note and are getting great offers from young talent. While the Orioles are often mocked in the league, they have only returned 2.5 games from a wild card spot. The Central is still up for grabs as these three teams also compete for Wild Card locations. Cleveland has been fighting with Minnesota to lead the division most of the season, and neither team has been able to get away with it. This is the narrowest division of all baseball teams. The Cleveland Guardians sit 1.5 games on the Twins and 2.5 on the White Sox. The Twins and White Sox have the best chance of not winning a Wild Card spot because they ended up winning their league instead. They rely on a balanced mix of young and veteran contributions as Julio Rodriguez does his best to earn the AL Rookie of the Year honor. Barring a massive meltdown by Houston, their eyes are on to claim a Wild Card position. Seattle has the biggest deficit as the second-placed team in their division, sitting 11.5 games behind the Houston Astros. After some important trade deadline deals, I’m finally starting to team up with the Blue Jays in time, allowing them to at least secure a Wild Card spot this year if they can keep up. There was real optimism in the off-season that they would challenge New York this year, but that didn’t happen in the first half of the season.
The Blue Jays have performed poorly all season. The question for Tampa Bay is how long they can maintain that momentum and whether they can ride it to Annex Pier. The Rays don’t have the roster caliber that the other teams have, but they get everything they can from their players, and they’ve been profitable up until this point in the season. Currently, Rays and Blue Jays hold their first two AL Wild Card points. This may allow team contenders Tampa Bay or Toronto to press for the Middle East crown, but I expect that to be easier said than done. The New York Yankees are showing that they are really human because they have only won 10 of their 30 games after the All-Star break.
