My Predictions

Will all 5 of the MLB AL East Division teams be at or above .500 at any time this year?

Settled as No

Baltimore is 67 91 .424

http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/standings/index.jsp

Background:

This is the opposite of another question regarding the NL West, which asks if all the teams will be below .500.

The AL East seems to be the premier division of MLB, with 4 of the 5 teams above .500 and only Toronto below. But the Blue Jays are close, being only 2 wins under the break even point.

Will there be a day before the end of the season when all 5 of these teams are at .500?


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.

Still a close market...only two teams below .500, each by only one game...a win by both today would settle the question!

As the final day of the regular season is Sept. 28th, I've edited the question to suspend 1 week prior to the end of the season (had previously been set to after end of season).

Bayoubear - if you want to move this to a different date, that would be fine. It had been pointed out that the previous suspend time was after the last games were played.
