<h3><strong>1. Houston Astros +220 (Last week: +270)</strong></h3>
<p>The Houston Astros are coming off an impressive three-game sweep over the Texas Rangers and have now won three straight games and seven of their last ten. Houston is also back on top of the AL West and has seen their AL odds bet down over the last week from <strong>+270 to +220. </strong></p>
<h3><strong>2. Baltimore Orioles +340 (Last week: +420)</strong></h3>
<p>The Baltimore Orioles remain red-hot to kick off September and have won five straight games and seven of their last ten. With the O&#8217;s continued success, they now lead the AL East by 3.5 games and have seen their American League odds rise from <strong>+420 to +340. </strong></p>
<h3><strong>3. Tampa Bay Rays +480 </strong><strong>(Last week: +430)</strong></h3>
<p>Even though the Tampa Bay Rays have won two straight games and seven of their last ten, they still have seen their odds of winning the Pennant take a slight hit of late. The Rays American League odds dropped from <strong>+430 to +480</strong> over the last week of play. </p>
<h3><strong>4. Seattle Mariners  +600 </strong><strong>(Last week: +550)</strong></h3>
<p>It&#8217;s been the first rough patch that the Seattle Mariners have faced over the last month, which has seen them post a middling 5-5 record over their last ten games. The Mariners&#8217; odds of winning the American League took a slight dip over the last week from <strong>+550 to +600. </strong></p>
<h3><strong>5. Texas Rangers +900 </strong><strong>(Last week: +480)</strong></h3>
<p>The Texas Rangers picked the wrong time of the year to get into this type of slump. Texas has lost three straight games and seven of their last ten, which has caused their American League odds to nearly double over the last week from <strong>+480 to +900. </strong></p>
