Can Anyone Dethrone the Dodgers in 2026, or Is a New Dynasty About to Begin?
15. San Diego Padres
Offensive starpower be damned, this roster scares the heck out of me. Despite the combo of Fernando Tatis Jr., Jackson Merrill, Manny Machado and Xander Bogaerts, the Padres finished third-to-last in baseball in home runs last year. Add a very top-heavy pitching rotation — Randy Vásquez, Germán Márquez and Walker Buehler are the 3, 4 and 5 starters — and this organization looks to be balancing on something of a tightrope.

14. Houston Astros
The much-predicted offseason trade never happened, which means the pieces on this roster still don’t all fit together. Jeremy Peña starting the year on the IL might simplify Houston’s defensive alignment coming out of the gate, but finding enough at-bats for all the veteran infielders might prove difficult. But none of that is as important as Yordan Alvarez’s health. The gargantuan slugger played in just 48 games last season, and the Astros still almost won the division. The future is not particularly bright in Houston — this farm system stinks — but the Astros still have enough talent to return to October.
