the national league has 16 teams:
5 east, 6 central, 5 west
the american league has 14 teams:
5 east, 5 central, 4 west
Moving the Houston Astros (NL Central) to the american league (AL West) would create 5 teams in each division, making playoff contention more equitable. In addition, they would be in the same division as the Texas Rangers, increasing rivalry and benefitting both teams. Houston is too far from the rest of the teams in the NL Central anyways (Chicago, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Milwaukee). Why doesn't MLB initiate this?
