The race for first place in the AL East is even with three games to go. That means the division title will be determined this weekend by how the Toronto Blue Jays and New York Yankees handle a pair of also-rans. After both teams won at home Thursday night, the Yankees and Blue Jays remain tied for the top spot — and the best record in the American League — at 91-68. New York hosts last-place Baltimore for three games beginning Friday night, while Toronto welcomes fourth-place Tampa Bay north of the border. The Yankees and Blue Jays are both headed to the playoffs regardless of their results over the next three days, but the division winner gets a first-round bye.
