MLB: Ranking each division from worst to best

It’s always fun to compare MLB divisions prior to the regular season. So much can change throughout, but where does each division rank as we currently stand?

Opening day is less than two weeks away. Lineups are looking more realistic, workloads are progressing for pitchers, and MLB rosters are beginning to take shape. The excitement is amping up for players, as well as fans.

This is the time of the year in which fans begin to critique their team, but also their division. Most fans find a way to weave their team to the top, no matter how far-fetched the scenario may be, or how delusional the fan may be. But that’s what spring is all about—pure optimism.

One of the more entertaining argument topics that transpires throughout the MLB season is divisional comparison. For example, you might be a Red Sox fan and your buddy is an Indians fan. Say each team has the same record three months in. Which team is better?

The deciding factor would have to be strength of schedule. That’s when each fan compares opponents, in which most opponents will exist in each team’s division. To answer the question, the Red Sox are better in this scenario. Let’s face it, the AL Central looks awfully top-heavy entering the 2018 season.

For the sake of preseason argument, where does each MLB division rank in comparison to the others?
