MLB Shockwave: Tigers Seize Top Spot as Dodgers Stumble and Mets Ignite a Fierce Comeback!
11. Cleveland Guardians (32-26) 📉
Slightly worse. Cleveland is tied for the ninth-best record in baseball, but its -16 run differential ranks 22nd, suggesting its success has been a bit more smoke-and-mirrors than most of the other teams ranked in the top half of these rankings. Defending their AL Central crown will be a tall task with how well the Tigers are playing, but the Guardians still have the talent and winning infrastructure in place to compete for a playoff spot.
12. Houston Astros (32-27) 📉
Slightly worse. Catch the Astros on the right day, and they still look like a serious threat to claim another AL pennant. But the depth of impact players here is not what it used to be, making them far more vulnerable to fall short of their lofty annual goals. It’s a credit to Houston it remains squarely in the AL West race with its best hitter Yordan Alvarez being a virtual non-factor so far. His health and availability remains paramount as a fully operational Alvarez is a huge part of what makes this team so scary, and it’s unclear when we are going to see that version of him again so
