Episode 3: Athletics Surge, Astros in FreefallThe AL West’s first real shakeup has arrived. The Athletics have won five straight, including a Mets sweep, to pull even with Texas at 8-7. The Rangers took two of three from Seattle behind dominant starts from Jacob deGrom and MacKenzie Gore, then got exposed at Dodger Stadium, allowing 21 runs in three games. Houston has lost seven straight, with Cristian Javier and Jake Meyers both landing on the IL, deepening a rotation crisis. Seattle swept the Astros to climb back to .500 consideration. Jorge Soler is carrying the Angels with six home runs in 16 games. The AL West race is wide open two weeks in, and Sacramento is suddenly a destination worth watching.The Division Line drops every Monday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Substack.
