I was just more amazed that the Sox did so well vs the AL East.
But my research showed that every AL team outside the Central, other than Baltimore, had a plus .500 record vs the Central.
And Cleveland had the 5th best record in the AL, only a game better than Tampa, who finished 7 games out of a playoff spot.
I think the biggest lesson to learn from Cleveland is to never trust a bullpen, they can fall apart at a moment's notice. That's why those guys are in the bullpen.
