## Resource

The AL East is a three-horse race for the World Series, with Tampa Bay, New York, and Boston all boasting 80+ wins—but each carries a glaring weakness: the Rays’ pitching inconsistency, the Yankees’ struggling ace Gerrit Cole, and the Red Sox’s injury-riddled roster. With October looming, every team must overcome their flaws to survive the playoffs—and one of these powerhouses will have to rise above the rest.
