1. New York Yankees
   Minnesota Twins
2. St. Louis Cardinals
   Atlanta Braves

The Yankees hit a combined total of 267 home runs last season which broke the single-season record set by the Seattle Mariners in 1997. Stanton led the team with 38 dingers, and four players hit exactly 27.

1. Los Angeles Angels
   Los Angeles Dodgers
2. San Fransisco Giants
   Seattle Mariners

The Los Angeles Angels always seem to have a star-filled roster, but they haven't made it to the league championship since their World Series win in 2002. However, Mike Trout is locked up for the next decade, so perhaps another World Series is coming soon.

1. Chicago White Sox
   Tampa Bay Rays
2. Philadelphia Phillies
   Oakland Athletics

At the beginning of the 2019 season, there was talks of the White Sox making a run at signing Manny Machado. Even though Machado ended up going to San Diego, expect the talent-loaded White Sox to creep near the top of their division in the next few years.

1. Houston Astros
   St. Louis Cardinals
2. Atlanta Braves
   Boston Red Sox

The Astros have won more than 100 games in each of the last two seasons, and as of June 2019, they're on pace to win more than 100 games again. The last time they finished below .500 was in 2014 when they won 70 games.

1. Minnesota Twins
   Atlanta Braves
2. Oakland Athletics
   Cleveland Indians

The Twins haven't made it past the AL Division Series since losing to the Angels in the AL Championship Series in 2002. However, their young core could change that in the next couple of years. Maybe they'll soon win their first World Series since 1991.

1. Oakland Athletics
   St. Louis Cardinals
2. Chicago Cubs
   San Diego Padres

The Oakland Athletics consistently have one of the lowest payrolls in baseball. In 2019, they're ranked 26th. Can you guess what team is No. 1? That honor belongs to the Red Sox at about $226 million.

1. Detroit Tigers
   Miami Marlins
2. San Diego Padres
   Cincinnati Reds

The Tigers won their last World Series in 1984. They went through a streak of four playoff appearances from 2011 to 2014, but they've only finished over .500 once since then. They're coming off two seasons with only 64 wins.

1. Toronto Blue Jays
   Baltimore Orioles
2. Washington Nationals
   Cincinnati Reds

The Blue Jays are the only team north of the border since the Expos moved from Montreal to Washington. They're home to one of the most highly touted prospects of the last decade. If Vlad Jr. is anything like his dad, he has a long, successful career ahead of him.

1. Kansas City Royals
   St. Louis Cardinals
2. Texas Rangers
   Baltimore Orioles

The Royals made it to back-to-back World Series in 2014 and 2015. Unlike the Rangers who made back-to-back World Series in 2010 and 2011, the Royals had a happy ending in 2015 when they took home the championship.

1. Atlanta Braves
   Cleveland Indians
2. Pittsburgh Pirates
   Minnesota Twins

The Atlanta Braves were one of the most successful teams in the league throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s. They made it to the playoffs every year from 1995 to 2005. They currently have a young core, so don't be surprised if they make another playoff run soon.

1. Colorado Rockies
   Chicago White Sox
2. Oakland Athletics
   St. Louis Cardinals

Coors Field, where the Rockies play, is one of the most hitter-friendly parks in the league because of the elevation. The team installed humidifiers to try to keep balls inside the park, but it's still a home run paradise.

1. Milwaukee Brewers
   St. Louis Cardinals
2. Cincinnati Reds
   Chicago Cubs

The NL Central is one of the most competitive divisions in the league right now. The Brewers managed to edge out the Cubs in 2018, but in 2019, the Brewers, Cardinals, and Cubs are all fighting for first place. Even the Reds and Pirates are league average teams.

1. Cincinatti Reds
   St. Louis Cardinals
2. Baltimore Orioles
   San Diego Padres

The last time the Reds won the NL Central was 2012. They lost the National League Divisional series to the Giants that year. They haven't finished over .500 since 2013 and are coming off a 67 win season last year.

1. St. Louis Cardinals
   Los Angeles Dodgers
2. San Fransisco Giants
   Atlanta Braves

The Cardinals are consistently a threat to win the pennant. After starting the 2010s with a World Series in 2011, another deep run in 2012, and a World Series appearance in 2013, they've gone through a cold streak. However, they're making another playoff push in 2019.

1. Boston Red Sox
   San Fransisco Giants
2. Tampa Bay Rays
   Los Angeles Dodgers

Since breaking the 'Curse of the Bambino' in 2004, the Red Sox have been on fire. They went on to win the World Series in 2007, 2013 and 2018. They're off to a slow start in 2019, but it would be foolish to count them out.

1. Chicago Cubs
   Chicago White Sox
2. Texas Rangers
   Tampa Bay Rays

Like the Red Sox, the Cubs are another team who broke a 100-year curse. In 2016, they managed to defeat the Indians in seven games to take home their first World Series since 1908. Do you think it will be another 100 years until their next one?

1. Tampa Bay Rays
   Texas Rangers
2. Milwaukee Brewers
   Pittsburgh Pirates

Since coming into the league in 1998, the Rays have had their ups and downs. From 1998 to 2007, they never won more than 70 games in a season. However, since then, they've had six seasons with more than 90 wins.

1. Arizona Diamondbacks
   Miami Marlins
2. San Diego Padres
   San Fransisco Giants

The Diamondbacks won their first World Series in only their fourth year in the league. With some help from Randy Johnson, they took down the Yankees in seven games. They haven't been back to the World Series since.

1. Texas Rangers
   San Fransisco Giants
2. San Diego Padres
   Houston Astros

The Rangers had some good teams in the early 2010s highlighted by two back-to-back World Series appearances. As heart-breaking as it is to lose in the World Series once, can you imagine doing it two years in a row? In 2011, they came within a strike from winning before the Cardinals came back to win game six and then game seven.

1. Los Angeles Dodgers
   New York Mets
2. San Diego Padres
   St. Louis Cardinals

The Dodgers have won the NL West every year since 2013. They've lost two straight World Series titles, coming within a game from winning in 2017 when they lost to the Astros. Will 2019 finally be their year?

1. Pittsburgh Pirates
   San Diego Padres
2. Milwaukee Brewers
   New York Mets

It's been 40 years since the Pirates last won a World Series. In 1979, they took down the Orioles in seven games. Since then, they've finished near the bottom of the NL Central most years, although they did make the playoffs from 2013-2015.

1. San Fransisco Giants
   San Diego Padres
2. New York Mets
   Baltimore Orioles

From 2010 to 2014, the Giants were unstoppable every other season. They won three straight even-year World Series before the Cubs broke the streak on their way to their own World Series title.

1. Philadelphia Phillies
   Milwaukee Brewers
2. New York Mets
   Miami Marlins

The Phillies have missed the post-season seven years in a row. However, with the addition of Bryce Harper, it looks like they're serious about putting themselves back into contention. Is there another parade coming to Philadelphia?

1. Cleveland Indians
   St. Louis Cardinals
2. San Diego Padres
   Boston Red Sox

The Indians came close to winning a World Series in 2016 before falling in game seven against the Cubs. Their window to win is very much right now. If they want to end their 70-year World Series drought soon, it will have to be in the next couple of years.

1. San Diego Padres
   Baltimore Orioles
2. Miami Marlins
   Tampa Bay Rays

The Padres haven't made the playoffs since 2006. Their last World Series appearance was in 1998 when they lost to the Yankees. The Padres are still hunting for their first World Series title. They may still have to wait a while.

1. Seattle Mariners
   Pittsburgh Pirates
2. Miami Marlins
   New York Mets

The Mariners won a record 116 games in 2001, giving them the record for most wins in a single season. However, they lost to the Yankees in the AL Championship series in five games that season and haven't been back to the playoffs since. Considering they're now in rebuilding mode, it might be another few years before they're back.

1. Baltimore Orioles
   New York Mets
2. Miami Marlins
   San Diego Padres

The Orioles had the worst record in baseball in 2018 with a 47-115 record and .290 winning percentage. They're on a slightly better pace as of June 2019 but are still projected to lose more than 100 games.

1. Miami Marlins
   Washington Nationals
2. Chicago White Sox
   Chicago Cubs

The Marlins have spent most of their history near the bottom of their division. However, they've managed to win two World Series in their short history. In both 1997 and 2003 they won the championship as a Wild Card team.

1. Washington Nationals
   St. Louis Cardinals
2. Baltimore Orioles
   New York Mets

The Nationals have had some of the best pitching in the league over the past 10 years, but they haven't been able to make it past the National League Divisional Series. If they want to win a World Series now, they'll have to do it sans Bryce Harper.

1. New York Mets
   New York Yankees
2. Chicago White Sox
   Los Angeles Angels

Since 2000, the Mets have been to two World Series, but they haven't won a World Series since 1986. They might not have as large of a fanbase as the Yankees, but they still have a loyal following in Queens.
