Posted: Fri Mar 07, 2025 2:15 pm
The AL West is shaping up to be a fascinating battleground in 2025, with the Houston Astros once again predicted to reign supreme. But can we really expect the same old story, or is there room for a shake-up? The Seattle Mariners are hot on their heels, and with a mere point separating their predicted outcomes, could this be the year they finally dethrone the Astros?
Let’s dive into the numbers: the Astros have a historical edge, drawing parallels to the legendary Big Red Machine of the late '70s. But history doesn’t always repeat itself, and the Mariners have shown signs of growth and resilience. With a record of 85-77 in 2024 and a strong performance in their closest matches, they could be primed for a breakout season.
What do you think? Are the Astros destined to continue their dominance, or is it time for the Mariners to rise?
And what about the Texas Rangers, Los Angeles Angels, and Sacramento Athletics? With the Rangers struggling to find consistency and the Angels facing a tough uphill battle, can any of these teams surprise us?
Let’s not forget the bold predictions: could we see a scenario where the Mariners not only challenge the Astros but also make a deep playoff run? Or will the Astros’ experience and historical success prove too much to overcome?
