The Los Angeles Angels have been denied of a postseason berth in large part due to the divisional dominance the Houston Astros displayed from 2017 until this past season. The Astros had a semi-dynastic run for eight years there, and the Angels have been wallowing in mediocrity (to put it mildly) as a result. Not only did the Astros win a couple of World Series in that span, but the Texas Rangers got one too. Now, the Seattle Mariners are at the doorstep of becoming a World Series favorite as they locked up a member of the team's nucleus for a cheaper fee than anybody expected.
