The Houston Astros have been out to a fast start. Currently leading the division, the 'stros are looking to do big things. They are backed by the bats of George Springer and Jose Altuve, both of which are off to fast starts. Can they fight off the other Texas team, Seattle, and the California-based squads? It's a small sample size currently, but Houston is looking pretty good..
The Seattle Mariners are awfully hungry for some October baseball. After the heartbreak of 2014, missing the Postseason by ONE game, the went out and locked up Nelson Cruz. With the King, Iwakuma, Cano, Cruz, and Seager the "M's" may be able to manage winning one extra game this season.
The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim are looking to win another division title, and there's no reason to not think they can. With the AL MVP, Mike Trout, Pujols, Aybar, and a few others, the Halos statistically beat the teams in their division. Garrett Richards has returned, and he doesn't look too bad.
The Texas Rangers might as well just call their roster a hospital. Injuries have just bombarded them over the last season. Last year it was Prince Fielder. This year it's Yu Darvish, which stings a little more than Fielder did. I wouldn't count them out, though. Fielder is back, and they have one of the best third basemen in the game, Adrian Beltre.
The Oakland Athletics were back at it with their crazy trading moves again. They've traded Josh Donaldson for Brett Lawrie, much to the disappointment of their fanbase. It's too early to tell if the exchange was a good one, but the A's still have some sure talent now. They have Sonny Gray, a pitcher who has looked impressive so far. Honestly, who knows what's going to happen with this team?
