This is one of the more mediocre years that I can remember. In the AL 86 wins to get the two extra wild card spots is pretty low and only 3 teams with more than 90 wins with the Yankees at 94 being the high water mark. Collectively the AL was 48 games below 500. The White Sox did contribute greatly to that...but the NL had two teams lose 100 games and collectively will be +48. Worst the American league has been in awhile.
