2020 MLB season: Don’t Sleep On These Teams
Texas Rangers – 2019 record: 78-84
The AL West is by far the most intriguing division.
The Oakland Athletics have a great core and continue to play Moneyball to a tee.
The Houston Astros will have more eyes on them than they do cameras on the catcher’s signal.
The Los Angeles Angels have the best player in baseball and added a World Series hero in Anthony Rendon.
The Seattle Mariners… also play in that division.
But the Texas Rangers, oh man I can’t wait to see this team play (and everyone else) in 2020.
They surprised a lot of people this past year but they just couldn’t hold it together down the stretch. Hey, it’s hard to do when two teams in your division make the postseason with 97+ wins.
The Rangers have one of the more exciting players in Joey Gallo plus they added Kluber to the top of a rotation that featured breakout campaigns of Lance Lynn and Mike Minor.
While the Rangers may not intimidate on paper, they have great pieces and their aggressiveness this offseason should say enough about them wanting to win this year. They’re going to win this year too.
