1. Houston Astros
The upstart Astros with a legitimate closer should vid for the division title.
2. Texas Rangers
Health will always be a huge factor for them and a healthy Yu Darvish is the prime example of that.
3. Los Angeles Angels
They’ll go back to basics with pitching, defense and a return to playing small ball.
4. Seattle Mariners
They’ve cleaned house from top to bottom. They’ll need another year to get things in order.
5. Oakland Athletics
With payroll limitations and a football stadium as their home, another year in the cellar seems in order.
