I honestly enjoy when the Rangers play on the west coast.
I feel like it allows me to get everything done in my actual life so that I can then just lay in bed or lay on my couch and watch the game without any interruption.
I'm also not old though.

Only guess is because they are farther East than Houston is.

Couldn't stretch the television market? Not sure to be honest. Guess the MLB thought the maximum views would come from a Texas market paired with a west-coast market? Maybe they thought they could either a) get earlier views on west coast and b) irregular later views in the Texas market.

in reality, Milwaukee was a NL city to start, way back when with the Braves. The Brewers were in the AL because they were originally the Seattle Pilots, who moved to Mil after one season in Seattle (Pilots were the team mainly detailed in Jim Bouton's great book Ball Four)
So while I agree that Houston should not be in the West, the move the the AL wasn't all that bad. and I think Milwaukee is more of a NL city

Because they were the team best suited to go west, as natural mate for Rangers.
This has always been an issue. In the first division setup, Whitesox went west, losing affinity with top rivals NY, Cleveland and Detroit. Cubs somehow managed to go east, while 2 EDT teams- Braves and Reds- were sent West.
Other choices would have been putting KC-StL in west. Or Brewers with either Cubs or Whitesox.
Astros were easiest move.
