Geeze, Mick, if you go by payroll, Detroit should be winning or close in their own division. Minny is #19, Cleveland is #25 and KC is #26. The Tigers are only behind the White Sox in their own division when it comes to spending.

Using salaries only doesn't explain Oakland, or even Cinci who is leading the wild card in the NL. They're #21 and 22 respectively.
