The Rangers, last year’s World Series champs, aren’t far behind but another team might offer the best value.

Texas dangled a prospect too good for New York to pass up amid its dud of a season, giving Scherzer another shot at a ring on a team he won’t have to carry.

Tampa Bay’s dominant first half has them as big favorites to represent AL in the World Series.

The pitcher will undergo a second Tommy John surgery, adding him to the list of stars whose campaigns for Cooperstown were cut short.

The Texas ace is projected to be out until the middle of the 2024 season.

Neither Oakland nor Kansas City score a lot but both bullpens are weak, so take the plus-money action.
