The article has attempted to rank all six MLB divisions for the 2026 MLB season, including the AL Central and the NL Central, based on both teams' performance in 2025 and FanGraphs projections for 2026. The rankings are based on teams' performances in 2025, their projected performance in 2026, and their overall overall rankings. The Mariners, the reigning division champs, are predicted to be the best team in baseball if their current pitching and current pitching staff are combined. The White Sox are projected to be interesting to watch this year, but a significant leap forward is unlikely due to their recent 100-plus losses and a leaky pitching staff. The Royals are considered a sleeper due to a likely offensive surge and Jac Caglianone is considered a potential breakout candidate. However, the Cardinals are expected to make the top 100 teams for the first time since 1908. The Angels, the Brewers, and Reds, are also predicted to finish with winning records this year. The Pirates, the Angels, and the Pirates, are projected for the upcoming Paul Skenes-Konnor Griffin era.
