Houston Astros
Houston is looking to catch the Yankees for the best record in all of baseball. This is key as there is a real possibility the two face off in the ALCS. The Astros currently trail them by two games but they do have a crucial tie-breaker. The difference in a series like that can simply be home-field as it was in the 2017 ALCS when the home team won all seven games.
The Astros are as balanced of a team as anybody in the majors. They got a great lineup led by guys like Jose Altuve, Michael Brantley, Carlos Correa, George Springer, Alex Bregman, and Yordan Alvarez.
Most importantly they got a trio of top-notch pitchers in Justin Verlander (2.58 ERA), Gerrit Cole (2.73 ERA), and Zack Greinke (2.99 ERA).
