Los Angeles Angels 13/2: Signing Pujols and Wilson makes a splash.
Detroit Tigers 9/1: Top-heavy roster but still dangerous.
Texas Rangers 9/1: Was the massive investment in Yu Darvish worth it?
Boston Red Sox 11/1: They’ve had a strange, unexciting offseason.
Florida Marlins 15/1: New park, new faces, new aggressive attitude.
San Francisco Giants 16/1: Rotation gives them a shot, but weak offense.
