American League West

Standard

* – indicates new to team

+ – indicates injury

1. Seattle Mariners

It’s the best time for them to recharge and get back to the ALCS for another shot at their first World Series appearance.

2. Houston Astros

The health of Yordan Alvarez will determine this team’s success. If he suffers an injury then Houston will be in danger of missing the Postseason for consecutive seasons.

3. Texas Rangers

The acquisition of MacKenzie Gore puts their rotation near Seattle’s, but the Rangers lineup doesn’t have the same pop as they’ve had in years past.

4. Athletics

Their lineup will be scoring a ton of runs with the depth they have. Whether they will have the pitching needed to sustain a chance at a .500 record is another matter.

5. Los Angeles Angels

Once again they are plugging in their various holes on the roster with temporary fillers and hoping it works out for them. While their owner continues to gaslight the fanbase into thinking that he is putting together a contender year in and year out.
