The American League has consistently been ruled by the East but the last few years have been a time for the Central to take over and with the moves made this year they will continue to take over with some very strong teams looking to make their way to the postseason.

The American League Central is a division that has been ruled by one team for years and that team has been the Detroit Tigers. The Tigers have been one of the most dominant teams in the MLB and have regularly been considered favourites to win the World Series. Thanks in large part to a great pitching staff the Tigers have ruled over the central for years. It is not all about the Tigers though as their time at the top has also been a lot about the lack of competition around them in their own division.
