The Los Angeles Angels are easily the most disappointing team for me this year. This team was supposed to challenge Texas for American League supremacy but they have needed a hot streak lately just to up their record within breathing distance of .500 and third place Seattle.
The Baltimore Orioles are the biggest positive surprise in the Majors, adding even more heft to the American League East being the toughest division in baseball.
The Seattle Mariners used a surprising road sweep at Detroit to even their record at 10-10 heading into the weekend.
The Blue Jays are off to a solid start this year and just whipped through the Royals over the weekend. Now they are in Baltimore looking to avenge a poor home series against the surprising Orioles.
It looks like the Yankees have done something everyone else has failed to in this young season – make Texas look beatable.
This is a nice battle among two of the top teams in the American League. As this is being written the Rangers are beating the Tigers in game one of their series, looking to improve their American League best record.
As this is being written Tampa is looking to even their series against Toronto and leading 6-2.
The first 10 games have gone about as well as expected for the Cubs. Yes Theo Epstein is guiding the ship but he can’t overhaul this wreck in just one offseason.
The Mets are definitely off to a better than expected start. They took the opener of now their second series against Atlanta last night making them 4-0 vs the Braves this year (they are just 3-3 against everybody else).
No one is sure who will win the National League East but everyone is pretty sure the New York Mets will finish in last place.
The National League East should be very interesting this year. Miami did a lot in the offseason to improve and Philadelphia has come back to the pack due to injury.
The Angels are looking to build on their series opening win against Minnesota.
As this is being written the Milwaukee Brewers are losing the rubber match in their three game series against St. Louis, not exactly the start they had in mind with Ryan Braun popping off about how this team is better without Prince Fielder.
If moving in the fences was supposed to spark offense at Citi Field the visiting Atlanta Braves certainly didn’t get the memo.
The Kansas City Royals are heading into this season with a great deal of optimism.
I know it is early but I don’t like the look of this Red Sox team. They had an epic collapse last year and I don’t see where they are improved at all heading into this season. A bunch of players had great years last season and it still wasn’t enough.
