Here's your MLB trends sheet for the first half of September—American League. What's a trends sheet? Basically, I will run down each team in the American League and tell you what teams are hot, heating up, cooling down or cold. It's nearing the end of the season, but there's still plenty of golden baseball betting opportunities out there. Let's jump into the trends outlook and see who's worth betting.
American League East
New York Yankees: The Yankees are heating up and getting primed for a run at the World Series. They are playing playoff baseball right now and not many teams stand a chance against them.
Boston Red Sox: Disappointment is setting in with the Red Sox. They are simply treading water at this point. There's always next season.
Toronto Blue Jays: The Blue Jays are still playing good ball. They are just above the treading water mark right now.
Baltimore Orioles: The Orioles have been left for dead. Their season has long been over and right now they are having trouble just winning a game. They are ice cold.
Tampa Bay Devil Rays: The Devil Rays are in the cellar once again. They are cooling down.
American League Central
Detroit Tigers: Don't look now, but the Detroit Tigers are ice cold. They have struggled to win games over the past two weeks and are in real jeopardy of missing the playoffs.
Chicago White Sox: It's that time of year and the White Sox have poured more gas on their fire. This team is red hot right now. Thanks to Detroit's decline, the White Sox are within striking range. They can smell the playoffs.
Minnesota Twins: The Twins are treading water right now. Thanks to Detroit's falters, they are still in the hunt. They are playing like a middle of the road team after going on a tear.
Cleveland Indians: The Indians are starting to cool down. Their season is over and the players are beginning to go through the motions.
Kansas City Royals: The Royals have started to heat up over the past two weeks. Perhaps this team is determined to finish the season strong.
American League West
Oakland A's: Perhaps Oakland has been resting on their lead. They are cooling down. The Angels are gaining some ground on them.
LA Angels: The Angels are playing in desperation. Their only shot at making the playoffs is to take the AL West. They are heating up.
Texas Rangers: The season is over now and they are starting to cool down.
Seattle Mariners: The Mariners had a run earlier in the season, but never found themselves. They are simply treading water at this point, perhaps looking towards next season.
