![]() ![]() The Halos should be exciting to watch this year.Įntering the 2023 season, the Mariners’ biggest weapon is their rotation and their pitching depth in terms of starters. Also, they brought two late-inning pieces in Matt Moore and Carlos Estévez. He’ll join three other lefties in the rotation, which will be led by Ohtani. They should be better both offensively and defensively.įinally, the Halos realized that pitching is a big part of the game and acquired a guy that could be a huge piece moving forward: Tyler Anderson, who was stellar pitching for the Dodgers last year. Also, it seems they’re giving up on Jo Adell and brought slugger Hunter Renfroe, who seriously looks exactly like Trout. I like the fact that the Angels made some small but important moves to fix their infield by bringing in Gio Urshela and Brandon Drury. So far, that’s about to become real, as the three are good to go. If there’s a team that will absolutely love being healthy, that’s the Angels, who should be dreaming of having the powerful trio formed by Mike Trout, Shohei Ohtani, and Anthony Rendón in the lineup night after night. However, keeping an eye on the bench and their middle relief should be a good idea throughout the season. They look so much better this year than the 2022 version, which won only 68 games and lost 94 times. They’ll still need some help from the lower part of their lineup if they want to be productive and deep enough, offensively speaking. The Rangers look forward to another good year from their good-hitting quartet: Marcus Semien, Corey Seager, Nathaniel Lowe, and Adolis García. All of them will join Jon Gray in a formidable starting staff that looks pretty promising should it stays healthy. They brought stars Jacob deGrom, Nathan Eovaldi, and Andrew Heaney aboard while also re-signing lefty Martín Pérez after a career year.

Also, how healthy Yordan Álvarez turns out to be will also be a turning point for the team’s success in a harder division. ![]() Health and youngster righty Hunter Brown will be huge for the Astros down the road. The bullpen is in excellent shape and kept its most essential pitchers from last year.īut what will be the key factor for them this time is to prove they can be more than just okay with their current rotation after losing Justin Verlander. Their offense still looks great even though they’ll play without José Altuve until at least June due to injury – they just added a man that can hit for both power and average, besides being named the 2020 AL MVP. ![]() They’re set to begin the season with a new first baseman, with Michael Brantley in the lineup again, with another backup catcher, and a reassembled bench. The Astros will have a different lineup from the one they used in most of the last campaign. Let’s begin with the champs… Houston Astros The Astros are set to defend their championship but will do so in a more hostile environment, as three of their strongest direct rivals got better this year or are completely healthy. All eyes will be on the reigning World Series champions Houston Astros and how they will perform in a reinforced American League West Division, which we’ll try to break down in this article.
