Maybe the teams at the top of the AL Central and the AL East are good, or maybe they just look good because they get to beat up on teams like the Royals, D-Rays, and Orioles.

That means all the teams are still in it! The western divisions have much more raging pennant fevers than the easts or the centrals because there are way more teams with a shot, rather than just the top 2 or 3. A good pennant race has nothing to do with winning percentage - it's all about how close together the teams are, and how many teams there are.
