With a little over two months in the books i figure its time to start making mmy monthly predictions. in my monthly predictions i try to determine which teams will see october as well show each division's highlight teams. I'll with the AL East. lets get started shall we.

American League East.

The AL East has really suprised me over these first two months. But no in the way you might think. The dvision is to, put it lightly, bad. thers only one good team in the division, and thats Boston.(yes yankees fans, your team ISN'T the power house team everyone thought they would be. sorry.) The number two team Toronto is 10 games behind. 10. Thats not good at all. In fact, thats pretty bad. if toronto wants to even have a chance of seeing october, they need make some changes, fast. It isnt just the number two either. the number 3,4,and 5 teams, Balitmore, New York, and Tampa Bay respectively, all are behind either 10 games or more. Now it may still be early in the season, but when you think about it, that's still pretty bad.

Balitmore, New york, And Tampa bay all need to make big changes if they want to have a shot at october. There batting isnt as good as it could be and they are making mistakes in the field that need to be accessed so they dont keep making them. There pitching is also a problem especially with new york  and balitmore. They both need more consistent pitchers. They're allowing too many runs too early in the game, and its cosing them. They need to either find some more good pitchers to fill their bullpins, or they need to find a way to get there best pitchers in more often.

By far the Biggest story in the AL East other than Boston's success so far, is New York. the yankees started with high expectations but then they started getting beat by boston and then everyone else and started to fall little by little. They havent Done anything good lately(although they are on a 3 game winning streak). Regardless of how many games they have on over the past week, they going to have to do more if they want to overcome the 10.5 game deficit between them and boston.

Over all, a lot of changes need to happen if any one in the AL East wants to catch up with Boston and have a shot at october.

Teams That have a shot a October: Boston. Toronto might have a shot if they can make some changes quick,but Boston should make it to october with little problem. Allthough its still too ealry to tell for sure, they should the skip over the wild card and start ocotber in the ALDS, but only time will tell for sure.

This is the first in a series. Look for the next part, the AL Central in a few days.
