Post John Heyman previews AL West:
1. Texas Rangers
o/u wins: 85.5
Key Players: Jacob DeGrom. They slowly go on deglom in hopes of keeping this generation's most talented pitcher healthy enough to record a decent number of innings. He was amazing the few who had seen a glimpse of him in the spring. He is expected to start with the fourth or fifth slot, but of course only for protection purposes (who would be the ace of anyone without health concerns). They won the World Series two years ago, mainly without him, but for him the task becomes much easier.
Players who need to step up: Adris Garcia. One of the 2023 heroes appears to have won the World Series title. That's a big deal for the favorite ranger in the department. At full strength, the lineup is scary, but aside from Marcus Semien, the best Iron Man who won't miss out on the game, there were too many injuries to overcome in 2024.
