American League West Season Preview
Predicted order of finish: 1) Seattle Mariners, 2) Oakland A's, 3) Anaheim
Angels, 4) Texas Rangers
The toughest division in the game is better, and it should still be a fight to
the finish and have two teams playing in October for the 4th consecutive year.
The Rangers are the best last-place team in the game. The Angels were fun to
watch last year and look like a good team again. They caught lightning in a
bottle last year, but it won't happen again. The A's are still good, but the
economics of MLB will make this year their last shot for a while, and they might
not even get that. The Mariners are the deepest all-around team in the game.
They may not be able to handle the A's pitching should they meet in the ALCS,
but the AL West will be represented in the World Series.
