Parity in baseball and an interesting record

[Brandon]

So I was glancing at the standings and I noticed that the distance between the teams with the best records in baseball (Indians and Angels at 90-62) and the team with the worst record (Devil Rays at 63-90) currently sits at 27.5 games. According to my research, with the exception of shortened seasons (1981 and 1994), this number has never been below 30, and is usually closer to 40-45. What does this say about parity in baseball? MLB gets flak for being the only major sport without a salary cap, but it has always been (in terms of winning percentages) the most competitive sports. What are everyone's thoughts on this?

another way to think about how even it is in baseball is to realize that winning 62 % is a "great" season (100 wins) and teams commonly make the playoffs by winning just 55-56% of their regular season games.
