On the other hand, with a star-studded lineup, the LA Dodgers are also ruling the National League East. However, it is not a surprise. What is surprising is that the LA Angles are also dominating their division AL East. Currently, these four teams are sitting at the top of the points table of their respective divisions.

Talking about the Yankees, no one expected them to be this good in the 2022 season, given their dull free agency. But they have the best winning streak among all 30 MLB teams. Before losing their last game against the Toronto Blue Jays, the Yankees won 11 consecutive games.

The New York Mets have emerged as a surprise package this season. Considering their last year’s fiasco, they have been just the opposite in 2022. The Mets are the only MLB team to not lose a single series this season.

As expected, the Dodgers are at the top. But the Angels are also having one of their best seasons. With Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout, the Angels are running riots in the AL West. Given their current record, which team do you think will win the World Series this season?
