Al East
Yankees (107-55)
As much as I hate to say it, I think the Yankees will be REALLY good this year.
Blue Jays (98-64)
The past couple of years, the Blue Jays have looked a couple years away from putting it all together. With savvy signings, this could be their year.
Rays (97-65)
The Rays just made it to the World Series, but lost a bunch of key players.
Red Sox (83-79)
The Red Sox are back on the rise, but are a couple players away from a playoff contender.
Orioles (52-110)
The Orioles showed promise last year, but they’re in the same division as four playoff-hopeful teams.
AL Central
White Sox (96-66)
The White Sox didn’t show their full potential in a 60-game season, but with the full 162, they can live up to it.
Twins (89-73)
There isn’t anything new and exciting about the Twins that makes me want to put them in the playoffs.
Cleveland (82-80)
Cleveland are similar to the Twins. They have a good pitching staff, but nothing special.
Royals (64-98)
The Royals will be bad, but they’ll be the best of the bad teams.
Tigers (63-99)
The Tigers will also be bad, but I felt bad and didn’t want to give them 100 losses.
AL West
Astros (97-65)
Last year proved that you should never count out the Astros, even with the drama surrounding them.
As (93-69)
With their talent and win total, they would usually make the playoffs, but there are better teams.
Angels (77-85)
Despite the below .500 record, this will be an average season for the Angels.
Mariners (64-98)
This season pretty much sums up the Mariners’ existence, come to think of it.
Rangers (49-113)
The Rangers will finish last in the AL and they know it.
