Perhaps the greatest thing about baseball is that there is always a fluctuation of good teams, from year to year. With that, MLB divisions vary from good to bad often.
In 2016, the best division in baseball was the AL East and in 2015, it was clearly the NL Central that was best. Of course, there are surprise teams every MLB season, but based off of the previous season and moves during the offseason, it isn’t too tough to tell which divisions are the strongest and which are the weakest on paper.
Now there are injuries that occur throughout the season that factor into the success of teams. Sometimes things don’t go exactly the way teams plan. And occasionally, teams that look great on paper don’t turn out to be so great on the field. With all this in mind, it makes it a bit of challenge to see which divisions are going to be the best in 2017.
