Since 2010, the AL West has been well represented in the World Series. The Texas Rangers had back to back appearance and losses in 2010 and 2011 and the Houston Astros won the AL pennant in 2017, 2019 and 2021. That 2017 season is, of course, the scandal-filled year that saw the Astros win the World Series before being caught in a sign-stealing cheating scheme. But still, they've won the AL West in four of the past five seasons and the pennant in two of the past three. The Oakland A's have represented the division as a Wild Card (and the division winner in 2020), but haven't gone any further recently. Could Texas' new stars -- Corey Seager and Marcus Semien -- catapult them to the top again?

• Houston Astros

  Since moving to the AL West in 2013, the Astros have seen great success. This includes five playoff appearances, three World Series appearances and one World Series Championship. Although riddled with the history of a cheating scandal, it is clear the Astros are a top-tier team in MLB. With stars like Alex Bregman, Jose Altuve and Yuli Gurriel, it is probable that the Astros' success is here to stay.

• Los Angeles Angels

  The Los Angeles Angels have arguably the two biggest stars in baseball in Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani. Those two are the leaders of this AL West team and Ohtani is the reigning AL MVP.  After a 77-85 finish last season, the Angels, now with a healthy Mike Trout, are looking to improve on that in 202 and get back to the postseason for the first time since 2014.
