On Tuesday, FanGraphs released their projections for divisional play outs and chances teams will make the postseason. Among that group, the Houston Astros are expected to win the American League West with a 71.4% chance; PECOTA is projecting around the same ballpark at 71.6%. These numbers will vary by outlet, but one thing stands the same; the Astros are in the weakest division in the AL. The only competition difference between the two is that FanGraphs is higher on the Los Angeles Angels to finish second than the Oakland Athletics like PECOTA is, but one reoccurring thing seen by a few outlets, FanGraphs aren’t riding with prospect Forrest Whitley.
