About this episode
Eno and DVR continue their 2025 Team Preview series in the America League West! Is the Astros’ control of the division finally winding down? Are the Rangers primed for another deep October run with a healthier roster in 2025? Can the Mariners hit enough to support their elite rotation? Can the A’s close the gap on the three teams ahead of them, and have the Angels improved enough to do the same after a disappointing 2024?
