Fine. Then how about my argument tweaked? If it was that a fourth place team was likely to reach 50 wins before any other 4th place team reached 50. Let's skew it towards 60. the jays have a better chance at reaching 60 wins before any other 4th place team. What separates the AL east is that there are two teams with nearly 70 wins while the 3rd and 4th place teams at nearly 60 wins. The division leaders in the NL west are both at 64 wins. The other two are stuck at 58.
My entire argument was that the division is so stacked that it's a direct disadvantage for the jays. However, I do believe that if they ever do contend, for real, it will be a team forged from the furnace of the AL east.
