The American League East is now a three-horse race, with three teams likely to finish in first place and two likely to participate in the postseason. This comes as the Yankees face a tough seven-week homestretch of the season. Despite some arguing that there has been no real pennant race since 1968, or 1993, the last time only league champions made the postseason was 1993.
