AL: Cleveland and the ChiSox have 12 QS in 19 and 18 games respectively. Interesting, the Indians are 7-12 and the White Sox are 11-7 with a team ERA a whole run lower than Cleveland. The Indians have blown at least 2 games late (see Red Sox games last week) and probably more.
The Red Sox have 9 QS through 20 games. All of the starters have two except for Buchholz. They are an AL-best 13-7.
