1. Toronto Blue Jays
Their rotation is better and their lineup is deeper than it was last season. Their window to win is now.
2. Tampa Bay Rays
They made minor tweaks throughout the roster, but the core remains to contend in a tough division.
3. New York Yankees
The biggest splash they made was getting Josh Donaldson, but that might not be enough to make a long postseason push.
4. Boston Red Sox
There are too many questions in the rotation, but they will score lots of runs and stay competitive.
5. Baltimore Orioles
It’s going to be another rough year, but the prospect pool will be arriving this year.
