Toronto is the biggest shock to me. I thought they would do better from the start of their year with the talent they had, at least on paper and that way for last several years. and they also fail to live up to their potential
Tampa has a strong organization and minor league to feed the pipeline. Tampa to me is the biggest disappointment when you consider how fast they started the year. Very Very dominant and then crashed and burned
Baltimore is playing with house money. They are a year or to ahead of their development and with the young players have the biggest window of opportunity. But recent play entering the playoffs is not up to par. this experience will make them dangerous for next years.
The Red Sox were not meant to be good this year and to me exceeded the low expectations they had and was not expecting them to make playoffs
The Yankees were the biggest hype, had the least depth on the their roster, and have Stanton who cannot run or field clogging the batting order and bases when he actually gets on. Judges carries them when healthy but one player cannot do it all (although Cole was great this year but only goes every 5th day). and even when Judge came back they were only 2 out from a wild card and they dropped like a rock since his return. They were good enough to make the playoffs but did not live up the the hype or even their talent that they had.
