It's Friday and that means it's time to check in on where the Sox are in the AL East Standings:
The Sox had themselves a pretty good week and are basically in the same place they were a week ago. The Sox faced their rivals in the Bronx and were able to win 2 out of 3 games. The Sox had an off day on Monday and then faced off against the AL leading Texas Rangers. The Sox were also able to win 2 out of 3 in that series.
In the next coming week the Sox will play 3 games with the Angels over the weekend and then head off on the road to face some AL East teams. The Sox got rained out tonight and therefore will play a doubleheader on Sat and the final game on Sunday against the Angels. The Angels have slumped out of the gate, but they are a team that can still beat you with all that talent they have. The 2nd game of the doubleheader has CJ Wilson vs. Clay Buchholz, which seems like a great matchup.
The Sox head off on the road to play the Rays for 3 games and then the O's for 3 games. The Sox have a chance to either put some more space between themselves and those AL East teams or make it a much tighter race. Other than the Jays which are 11 games back, all of the other AL East teams are pretty close to one another. It could just take a quick run or slump to rearrange all of the teams in the top 4.
