1) Indians (3/1)
2) Astros (4.5/1)
3) Nationals (8/1)
4) Dodgers (3.5/1)
5) Diamondbacks (18/1)
6) Cubs (7.5/1)
7) Red Sox (8/1)
8) Rockies (25/1)
9) Yankees (10/1)
10) Twins (25/1)
This season came in thirds: the first third belonged to the Astros, the second third was all Dodgers, the final third was clearly the Indians.
In each of those thirds, the Nationals were arguably the second best team (hope Scherzer is ready to play).
I got a feeling that the Diamondbacks are more dangerous than most folks realize (and I think the most tantalizing pick for gamblers).
The Cubs should've dominated this season, perhaps they were just waiting for now.
The Red Sox are okay, they've got the talent to win it all but they'll need to take a step up to make some noise.
I think the Yankees (youth came along quicker than planned), Twins (feasted on a pretty horrible AL Central, played solid if unspectacular all season) and Rockies (props for coming from the toughest division but hard to tell how good they actually are) all wildly overachieved and aren't really in the conversation.
I'll take the Diamondbacks and Yankees, the home teams, to move on through the play-in games.
