Not long ago, the Yankees were comfortably ahead in the AL East with a seven-game lead over the second-place Rays. This gap has diminished as the season progresses with the Blue Jays closing in at two games back, and the Red Sox trailing by 4.5 games.

The last few weeks have seen a shift in momentum, with the Yankees on a losing streak and the other teams in the division heating up. This sudden change makes for an exciting finish to the season.

In terms of betting, the odds didn’t look favorable for the Yankees on Caesars. As the season progresses, bettors may look to place their money on the Yankees, who seem likely to regain their form.

The Yankees’ rotation includes solid talent like Max Fried and Carlos Rodón, while players like Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton can provide the offensive spark.

Meanwhile, the Rays continue to find value in acquisitions and have shown impressive performance on the field, which makes them another strong contender. In terms of odds, the Blue Jays are still looking to build on their recent success after winning six out of their last seven series.

Lastly, the Red Sox are also trying to find their footing amidst lineup changes and player injuries.

As the playoff picture becomes clearer, this race in the AL East is heating up.
