Updated AL East Odds
LAS VEGAS, NV (TheSpread) – Can the New York Yankees find their way to another AL East championship this season? Here is the latest odds for the division.
According to the latest oddsmakers, the Yankees are currently a +140 favorite to win the AL East in 2015. The Baltimore Orioles have +350 odds to win, while the Toronto Blue Jays have +400 odds and the Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays each come in with odds of +500 to win the division.
The current standings have the Yankees with a 3.5-game lead on the field at 48-40. The Rays are actually the team in second at 46-45, but not getting much respect from oddsmakers, partially due to their -9 run differential this season. The Orioles are 4 games back at 44-44 while the Jays are 4.5 games back at 45-46 despite having a +82 run differential. Boston is in the cellar at 42-47, 6.5 games behind the Yankees.
The Yankees are the diamond of the AL East, as they have won the division title 18 times, with the last title coming in the 2012 season. This year is the first for New York without Derek Jeter. New York has had big seasons thus far from the likes of Mark Teixeira, Brian McCann, Alex Rodriguez and Brett Gardner. A-Rod currently has 51 RBI with 18 HRs and a .278 average following his year-long suspension.
