Are the Yankees losing their edge?

As of September 16, the New Yankees have relinquished their claim as the best team in baseball. The Tampa Bay Rays, at least for the next 24 hours, own the best record in baseball at 88-57 for a .607 winning percentage.

The Yankees are now on the heels of the Rays at 88-58, just four percentage points behind at .603.

Don't you wish the Arizona Diamondbacks could produce those stats? Don't look, I'll give you the bad news there: the D'backs are 30 games under .500 at a dismal .397 percentage. Closing in on the Yankees is the NL East-leading Phillies, winner of four in a row, at 86-61 and better yet, look at Minnesota in the AL Central Division, also winner of four in a row. The Twins stand at 87-58 for a winning-percentage of an even .600. A win over the White Sox tonight could move the Twins closer to the best record in the Majors. Oh, those teams from American League, they know how to win.
