2018 American League East Season Preview

If you have been following me along on Instagram, I have been posting my version of a Season Preview for each of the 30 teams.  Instead or previewing the entire roster, I focused on one player or aspect of the team that I am looking forward to following throughout the season.
Here is a recap and my predictions on how the they will finish in the division.

American League East
This is the toughest to pick a winner. Both the Yankees and Red Sox have talented teams and win 100 games this year, but as a Yankee fan, I'm sure my pick is a little biased.  I'm picking the Yanks to win the division because of the talent on the roster and their ability to add whatever they may need through call-ups or by making trades. The Red Sox will win the Wild Card and host the Angels in the Play In Game.  The Blue Jays don't have the depth of either NY or Boston to keep in this race.  The Orioles will run out of healthy starters and the Rays lack the lineup power to stay competitive.

New York Yankees - Luis Severino

Boston Red Sox - Rafael Devers

Toronto Blue Jays - Justin Smoak

Baltimore Orioles - Manny Machado
Tampa Bay Rays - Chris Archer

Here is a recap and my predictions on how the they will finish in the division.

American League Central
The Indians are the class of the division and take the title easily, while the Twins just miss out on a Wild Card.  The Royals are better than expected and finish just below .500, the Tigers bounce back, and the White Sox take a small step forward as their prospects get some more experience.

Cleveland Indians - Danny Salazar

Minnesota Twins - Brian Dozier

Kansas City Royals - Danny Duffy
Detroit Tigers - Michael Fulmer

American League West
The World Champion Houston Astros run away with this division. The Angels challenge for a Wild Card, but pitching fails them down the stretch.  The A's surprise people, the M's disappoint again and the Rangers are searching for direction.

Houston Astros - Alex Bregman

Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim - Shohei Ohtani

Oakland Athletics - Kris Davis

Seattle Mariners - Nelson Cruz

Texas Rangers - Joey Gallo

National League West
The Dodgers dominate the West for a 6th straight season. Both the Diamondbacks & Rockies take steps backwards. The Giants are not the disaster that they were last year, but injuries and age keep them just below .500.

Los Angeles Dodgers - Corey Seager

Arizona Diamondbacks - Paul Goldschmidt

Colorado Rockies - Nolan Arenado

San Francisco Giants - Andrew McCutchen

San Diego Padres - Eric Hosmer
