Sizing Up The AL West At The 1/8 Mark

This weekend marked the 1/8 point in the season, with teams getting into the low 20s in games played. The Rangers got off to the best start with the other 4 teams all mucking right around the .500 mark even if they came to it in different ways with the A’s trending up, the Angels trending down, the Astros and Mariners following the won-loss pattern of a series of coin flips.

1/8 of a season is not enough to conclude “who they are” about a team, but it’s also enough time to see some indicators. So with 21 or 22 down and about 140 to go, what have we seen so far in the AL West and what might we anticipate going forward?
