I noticed yesterday and today MLB's standings for the AL East are wrong (yesterday the sox were 0.5 GB, today 1 GB). The Sox are 22 games above .500, while the Yankees are 20 games over. The sox should be listed 1 game ahead. Other sites have the correct standings (baseball-reference, espn), but MLB.com can't?!?
I wonder if their algorithm is wrong because the Yankees, who have played six fewer games, have a higher winning percentage.
