There are 30 teams in Major League Baseball and they are divided equally with 15 teams into different conferences, which are called the American League and National League. The two leagues are more commonly known as the AL and NL. Each league is made up of three divisions with five teams in each group.
MLB AMERICAN LEAGUE TEAMS
Not a lot of traveling when these five teams get together as all of them are located in the Northeast part of the United States while the Toronto Blue Jays are just a short trip to Canada. The Blue Jays are the only MLB American League Team playing outside of the U.S. The largest rivalry among all MLB Teams takes place in this division and it’s between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox.
