There are quite a few MLB teams that are not even close to a postseason berth right now, however, some of those teams may be in the mix next season for a trip to the playoffs in 2015.

Some teams, especially the Texas Rangers, have been completely and utterly decimated by injury.

While teams like the Chicago Cubs have an immense amount of young, up and coming talent that is on display right now and will have much-needed experience under their belts when the 2015 season rolls around.

Whereas other teams such as the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Tampa Bay Rays have had their fair share of injuries, neither team performed to their expected potential in 2014 but they still have the opportunity to turn it around next season.

Then there are the Houston Astros who are in a class by themselves. They’re terrible yet they have talent. Jose Altuve has the best batting average in the league and Chris Carter is rivaling the Baltimore Orioles’ Nelson Cruz for the American League home run crown.

Let’s take a look at these five teams who may be in the mix to play in October in 2015.
