AL East race: September 3, 2008

MLB.com: Rays’ AL East lead shrinks after loss

In a season built on stingy defense and solid starting pitching, neither went well for Tampa Bay on Wednesday night, as the Rays dropped their first series since the All-Star break with an 8-4 loss to the Yankees at Tropicana Field.

MLB.com: Red Sox stage comeback to topple O’s

The Red Sox waited seven innings to jump-start their offense on Wednesday, but a three-inning rally to end the contest helped Boston earn a 5-4 victory over Baltimore at Fenway Park, completing a sweep of its American League East rivals.

TBR 84-53
BOS 82-57 (3 GB; 5 ahead in wildcard)

I am fully confident in the Red Sox taking the division. Given how good these two teams are at home, HFA will be very important if they are to meet in the ALCS.

Though I share your confidence in the Sox ability to get the necessary 97 wins to take the division, I do not think the Rays will make the ALCS...regardless of their opponents. Nope, I have no clever or sabermetric position here...just a hunch.
