Background:

Currently the LA Angels and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays are leading their respective divisions in the American League of Major League Baseball.

LA is first in their Western division with a record of 60 wins and 38 losses; .612, Tampa is first in the Eastern division with a record of 58 wins and 40 losses; .592.

At the end regular season play, which squad will finish the year with a better regular season winning percentage?

In the event they both tie at the end of the regular season, for example .579 and .579, then the third option will prevail as the winning selection.
