Who is the Best Team in The American League?
The Houston Astros are looking to make their fourth World Series in six years, but do they have the talent to compete with the stacked AL East? There's almost no question that they'll capture the AL West, with no other team projected to be able to compete with them. Because of that, their path to the playoffs will come easier than the Yankees and Blue Jays, who need to compete with the Red Sox and Rays in the AL East.
The team to beat, in my opinion, is the Toronto Blue Jays. They have everything you'd expect from a World Series contender. Young sluggers like Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette, and they also have veteran leadership in George Springer and Matt Chapman, who was a new addition this offseason.
They also have arguably the best rotation in all of the Majors, with Jose Berrios, Kevin Gausman, Hyun-Jin Ryu, Alek Manoah, and Yusei Kikuchi. While they still have some questions in the bullpen, they have enough firepower everywhere else to make up for it.
Prediction: Blue Jays +525
