  Baseball season is a great time for all the baseball fans a time to see who owns the other one money for the bet they had made or to see who’s team is going to make it to the world series this year.

  Everyone has a favorite baseball team as for me I do, My family is a big Texas Ranger fans but I’m not I fit in that small amount of Texans who go for the Astros I personally think there a better team then the Rangers but it’s all facts to really prove that.

   In the past the Rangers have preformed very well during the past years and the Astros well preformed not their best seasons but year after year they improve and getting better during the summer of last year the Houston Astros sat atop of the division most of the summer.

   The Houston Astros and the Texas Rangers figure to again fight for the division title again this coming up season. The window is very open for both teams but the Houston Astros are in favorites in West gates AL West race as well as Fan graphs.

   Houston is very clearly talented. Their core of Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa, George Springer, and Alex Bregman is a good four – player core in the game and the new veteran addition like Carols Beltran and Brian McCann lengthen the line up and also bring a leadership quality that was lacking last season but they have found a way to bring it up this season.

   The Astros are essentially bringing back the same starting rotation and replacing Charlie Morton with Doug Fister and a few players weren’t the greatest last year and Lance McCullers has a ton of potential and his injuries where a big problem the Astros are determined to score as many runs and get good bullpen that an average rotation will carry them to the AL west title this year.

    The Houston Astros has a lot of players coming back from injuries this season as well they have a to score a ton of runs and bullpen to keep there lead and  this season the Astros are the top rank and have the most win in the AL west with only six loses as for the Rangers they have the third spot this season with nine wins and ten loses.

   The two teams that split Texas with the Rangers having the most fans I think that a lot of Ranger fans are going to start switching team with how bad there doing this season as for the Astros our fan base is going to keep growing with this seasons top spot lead and the Astros might not have all ways been great but this year there really coming up and quick, I can truly say this year might be Astros year.

   The Astros are ranked second for MLB out of 30 teams and not a lot of people think that the Astros could be this close to the top speaking on there past years with there additions of veterans and there offense Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa make Houston’s club look like the AL’s strongest offensive unit entering 2017.

   
As the Texas Rangers fall in ranking of sixteen in the MLB ranking. Elvis Andrus is hard to count on him to repeat his 2016 excellent performance. The Rangers don’t have quite enough offensive firepower to stack with the teams above them on the list this season.

   The Houston Astros well all ways be my top team no matter what there rank is and win or lose there still going to have a great amount of fans like me on there side and this seasons is going to show that the Astros are coming up for a come back from all those years of doubt.
