Can Anyone Dethrone the Dodgers in 2026, or Is a New Dynasty About to Begin?
13. Atlanta Braves
If the Braves stay healthy, they should be pretty good. Unfortunately, they’re already not healthy, with Sean Murphy, Spencer Schwellenbach and Hurston Waldrep starting the season on the injured list. Losing Jurickson Profar to another PED suspension doesn’t help, either. Can the top of this roster — Ronald Acuña Jr., Chris Sale, Austin Riley, Matt Olson and Spencer Strider — perform at a high enough level to make up for the injury woes and lack of depth?
12. Kansas City Royals
Speaking of a lack of depth, the Royals are shallower than a kiddie pool. Thankfully, the high-end talent here is pretty incredible. Bobby Witt Jr. is the third-best player in the world. Maikel Garcia and Vinnie Pasquantino should be All-Stars. Carter Jensen is a fun Rookie of the Year pick. A healthy Cole Ragans could be an X-factor. If Kansas City can dodge the injury bug, it’ll have a good shot at the AL Central crown.
