Here's a few things to remind you why it's silly: The Rangers won 10 games in a row last year, there were two week stretches of last season where the Angels were better than the Astros, the Angels have
yet to play a
serious contender,
as already stated the Reds were 1st in the NL Central to start the season, the Brewers were in first until a little bit after the all start break (if I remember correctly), literally thousands of other examples of teams starting hot and then finishing outside of the playoffs.
