Red Sox or Yankees: Who will capture the AL East?
Why will the Yankees win the American League's east division? Well first of all, they always do. That's not exactly true, but it sure seems that way. Since baseball went to a multi-layered playoff system in 1969, the New York Yankees have won the East 12 times to date. Their division rivals, the Boston Red Sox, have managed to do so only five times in that span.
