June will be important. Someone in the AL West will be 5 or 6 games back on June 30 and in a heap of trouble.

Isn't June when a bulk of the interleague play happens? I don't think any AL West team will be in trouble, but by the end of the month I wouldn't be surprised if a team like Texas is up 4 games on the pack though. When you have teams like Oakland who have great pitching they tend to hang around a bit longer than a team who has no pitching. The only team in that Division who might be bad is Seattle...and right now they're the hottest team in the majors.
Now if we're talking the AL East, than yeah I can see Baltimore and Toronto being left in the dust a bit by the end of the month as the Red Sox are getting it together.
