Arguably the two best teams in the American League square off this weekend with the No. 1 seed on the line. So, who has the edge between the Orioles and Rays?
Baltimore has maintained its division lead since seizing the top spot from Tampa Bay in mid-July, though the Rays have never fallen more than four games back at any point. Now they sit just two games back of the Orioles, offering their best remaining opportunity to reclaim first place in baseball's toughest division.
While the division title may not be decided this weekend — there will still be two weeks to go, of course — these games do mean more than just what the standings say come Monday. Remember, Game 163s have been eliminated with the expanded playoffs, which means head-to-head record serves as the tiebreaker. The new balanced schedule has reduced the number of games against divisional opponents from 19 to 13.
