But we're also talking about a predicted improvement of 100 runs. That's huge. So, yes, if everything in the pitching staff breaks right and their offense improves by 100 runs, I agree the Astros are WS favorites.

I wasn't trying to argue that they are WS favorites, or even AL favorites, but I do like them this year and they would be my pick for the West.

The thread is literally "who are the favorites to win the WS". I am arguing against the Astros for that proposition. I don't think anyone in the West can be the favorite because there are so many contenders in the division and we're at "anything can happen" levels. Honestly, I like the Mariners to sneak under the radar and contend. I give the leg up to the Rangers because I like full seasons of Darvish and Lucroy, but mainly they have a creative GM who will make midseason moves, plus he has two chits to play (Profar and Gallo).

To me, the Indians are the easy favorite. I get why a lot of people are on the Red Sox train as well, but I think they will disappoint. But I admit they should be the favorites, I'm just going against the favorites there.
