00:00I'm going to take care of the West, which I think is absolutely fascinating here with team totals.
00:04And if you take a look, it's expected to be a very competitive race once again.
00:08The Mariners with a team total listed at 90 and a half.
00:10The Astros at 85 and a half.
00:11The Rangers, Tom, 83 and a half.
00:14The Athletics at 75 and a half.
00:15And the Angels there listed at 70 and a half.
00:18If we take a look last year at the standings, how they finished up.
00:2090 wins for the Mariners, 87 for the Astros, 81 for the Rangers, 76 for the Athletics, and 72 for
00:26the Angels.
00:27So we'll start with the guys at the top of the heap.
00:29The Mariners, 90 and a half.
00:30Next closest team, Tom.
00:31Astros, 85 and a half.
00:33Good little margin there for the Mariners.
00:34Let's start there with the Mariners.
00:3690 and a half, Tom.
00:3790 plus wins expectations or maybe take a step back.
00:40I don't know.
00:42I think that's the expectation for them.
00:44And I think it is very, very reasonable for them.
00:47The pitching set they have is unbelievable.
00:49The hitters that they have are great.
00:50They made those moves to trade for Naylor, then resign him.
00:54I think they will continue to be aggressive.
00:56When it comes to the Astros, it's about the under for me.
00:58I don't think they have enough talent.
01:00I think that they may trade away Christian Walker at a certain point.
01:03They don't have the pitching.
01:04If Hunter Brown or Christian Javier get hurt, they just don't have the depth at pitching that they once did.
01:10Correa is getting up there on the age.
01:11He's going to spend time on the IL at some point.
01:14The same thing with Altuve.
01:15If Jordan Alvarez does not return to form, there's just too many question marks for me to buy into Houston.
01:19All the things you Scott does not return to.
01:20Have a great question.
