2026 Top MLB Teams To Buy/Sell

1. Pittsburgh (71-91)- (Buy) The Pirates finished with a respectable 71-91 record under manager Don Kelly, who replaced Derek Shelton 28 games into last season. Phenom RHP Paul Skenes (216 K, 1.97 ERA) is back to lead the rotation and if they can improve on their 25-35 record in one-run games in 2025 surpassing the .500 mark and earning a Wild Card spot is definitely attainable. OVER/UNDER TOTAL WINS 78.5

2. Colorado (43-119)- (Buy) The Rockies have nowhere to go but up following an embarrassing 119 loss season in 2025. With a new president of baseball operations in Paul DePodesta, a former assistant to GM Bill Beane with the Athletics in the 90's, expect a more competitive product on the field this year led by All-Star catcher Hunter Goodman (31 HR, 91 RBI). OVER/UNDER TOTAL WINS 56.5

3. San Diego (90-72)- (Sell) The Padres lost manager Mike Shildt (resigned) as well as starting pitcher Dylan Cease to the Blue Jays. Cease went just 8-12 last year but posted 3 consecutive 200-plus strikeout seasons with the team. In the always competitive NL West Division expect this team to take a step back in 2026 under first-year manager Craig Stammen. OVER/UNDER TOTAL WINS 83.5
