The AL West has been the Houston Astros division for several seasons, but does that change in 2024?
The Texas Rangers are the defending World Series champs, and they could defend their crown by avoiding the wild card in the 2024 season and taking the AL West division. However, oddsmakers aren't expecting that to happen.
Houston is set as a -105 favorite to win the AL West, which makes some sense since the team has done that in six of the last seven seasons. The only season it didn't? The pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign.
With Shohei Ohtani leaving the Los Angeles Angels and the Oakland Athletics still in a massive rebuild, oddsmakers are projecting this to be a three-team race for the division.
