Here’s your MLB trend sheet for the first half of September: American League. What is a trend sheet? Basically, I’m going to break down every team in the American League and tell you which teams are hot, hot, cold, or cold. The end of the season is drawing near, but there are still plenty of golden baseball betting opportunities out there. Let’s move on to the trends perspective and see who is worth betting on.
American League East
New York Yankees: The Yankees are warming up and preparing for a World Series run. They’re playing playoff baseball right now and not many teams stand a chance against them.
Boston Red Sox: Disappointment is setting in for the Red Sox. They are just floating in the water at this point. There is always the next season.
Toronto Blue Jays: The Blue Jays continue to play well. They are just above the footfall water mark at the moment.
Baltimore Orioles: The Orioles have been left for dead. Their season is long over and right now they are having trouble winning a game. They are frozen.
Tampa Bay Devil Rays: The Devil Rays are in the basement once again. They are getting cold.

Detroit Tigers: Don’t look now, but the Detroit Tigers are freezing. They’ve struggled to win games the last two weeks and are in real danger of missing the playoffs.
Chicago White Sox: It’s that time of year and the White Sox have added more fuel to their fire. This team is red hot right now. Thanks to Detroit’s decline, the White Sox are within surprising range. They can smell the playoffs.
Minnesota Twins: The Twins are treading water right now. Thanks to the Detroit dithers, they’re still on the hunt. They are playing like a middle of the road team after a losing streak.
Cleveland Indians: The Indians are starting to cool down. Their season is over and the players are starting 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 its lead. They are getting cold. Los Angeles is gaining some ground on them.
LA Angels: The Angels are playing desperate. Their only chance to make the playoffs is to win the American League West. They are heating up.
Texas Rangers: The season is over and they’re starting to cool down.
Seattle Mariners: The Mariners had a run earlier in the season, but never met. They’re just floating on water at this point, perhaps looking ahead to the next season.
