Their bullpen and top of the rotation give them a distinct advantage for a Wild Card spot.
3. Seattle Mariners
With the massive turnover of the roster, things will need to click right away for their playoff drought to end.
4. Los Angeles Angels
Everything i.e, health and player performance, has to go right for them to contend for a Wild Card spot.
