Predicting MLB Part 3 AL West

AL West

1. Oakland Athletics: The A's have in my opinion the best team in baseball. Not only to they have a great team but I believe that they have the spirit and eagerness to win themselves a World Series. They have great starting pitching, the best bullpen, and good offense with Josh Reddick, Yoenis Cespedes, and Josh Donaldson leading the team. The only thing I can think of that the A's could use some improvement in is 2nd base.

2. Texas Rangers: Now the Rangers might be the most deadly offensive teams with now obtaining Prince Fielder and Shin-Soo-Choo. The only problem they have is they have terrible pitching, besides Yu Darvish they don't have anyone to win games for them on the mound.

3. Seattle Mariners: With the additions of Robinson Cano, Corey Hart, and Fernando Rodney the Mariners are starting to become a great team. However they still have a long ways to go. There is still a lot of holes and lack of offense on the team. Their main plus is their starting pitching especially with Taijuan Walker coming up in 2014.

4. Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim: The Angels have big problems on their team with large contracts and failed players. Besides Mike Trout and CJ Wilson no one else has been pulling their weight. Albert Pujols has been hurt, Josh Hamilton hasn't been preforming. This team has a long ways to go before they become playoff contenders.

5. Houston Astros: The Astros are a very weak team, I think however these will be some of the last years we will be hearing this. Their farm system is strong and with people coming up the team could be a postseason contender within the next five years.
