With Opening Day on the horizon, the Jack Vita Show kicks off its MLB Preview Series with its first division preview. Los Angeles Angels beat reporter at MLB.com Rhett Bollinger and San Antonio Express newsroom meteorologist (and diehard Texas Rangers fan) Anthony Franze return to the Jack Vita Show to forecast the American League West division! Rhett, Anthony and Jack get the party started, discussing the reigning World Series champion Texas Rangers. The Rangers led the AL West for much of the season, until they hit a snag in the late summer, opening the door for a tight, three-team race for the division title. While the Rangers ended up tying for the best record in the West and losing the tiebreaker to the Houston Astros, Texas had the last laugh, defeating Houston in seven games in the ALCS, en route to their first World Series title in franchise history. How will the Rangers follow-up a historic season, in 2024? Then, the conversation shifts to the team Rhett covers on a daily basis: the Los Angeles Angels. Over the winter, the Angels bid farewell to two-time American League MVP Shohei Ohtani, who signed a historic, 10-year, $700 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Angels had a relatively quiet offseason, but the club did beef up its bullpen. Coming off a disastrous end to a 73-win season and the departure of Ohtani, how will the Angels fare in 2024? Later, the crew puts the Oakland Athletics under the microscope. The A's lost a franchise-record 112 games in 2023, and have lost 100 games in back-to-back seasons. Why have the A's performed so poorly over the last two years, and what can fans expect in 2024? Did the team steal the plot from the classic film Major League, in an attempt to relocate the team in Las Vegas? After that, it's the Houston Astros. The club has won the AL West six of the last seven seasons. Under new manager Joe Espada, are they the favorites once again? Finally, Rhett, Anthony and Jack analyze the Seattle Mariners. The Mariners came within two games of tying for the AL West division title, collecting 88 wins in 2023 and missing the playoffs. The club had won 90 games the previous two seasons. Seattle shed payroll over the winter, while giving up on former top prospect Jarred Kelenic. Will the M's return to the postseason in 2024? As an added bonus, Survivor writer and podcaster, and our Seattle sports guy Mario Lanza calls in, leaving a 16-minute voice message with his outlook on the Mariners' season. You can follow Rhett (@RhettBollinger), Anthony (@AnthonyFranzeWX) and Mario (@MarioJLanza) on Twitter.

Brace yourselves sports fans. This is a jam packed, fast paced sports podcast to get your week off and running. I have tons to delve in as the sports world has much to offer on the latest episode. On deck: (3:24) The Suns and Heat have given back 2-0 series leads to the Mavericks and Sixers respectively. Will both teams be able to thwart the underdogs and move onto a conference final? Do the Mavs or Sixers have the means to pull off an astonishing upset? Can Chris Paul bounce back from two subpar games? Is Joel Embiid's return enough to put them over the top? The Warriors ran the Grizzlies out of the gym on Saturday night, and in the process, the Grizz will be without their best player Ja Morant in Game 4. Does Memphis have any shot of winning in an enormous swing game in this series? Was Jordan Poole's tug on Morant's knee a dirty play? Also, can the Bucks take a commanding lead in their series against Boston with a win tonight? Will Jayson Tatum rebound from a nightmare game. A lot of intrigue has taken the second round by storm as the NBA playoffs march on. (26:13) The Stanley Cup Playoffs has gotten off to a great start. We already have a team that's come back from an 0-2 deficit in the Boston Bruins. Will they have enough to overtake the Carolina Hurricanes and steal this first round series? The Florida Panthers have a lot to answer as their season could be on the brink with a pivotal Game 4 in Washington, down 2-1. Same could be said for the Rangers as they're staring at a 3-1 series possibility. What about their young, high prized draft picks? (Kaapo Kakko and Alexis Lafreniere) The Rangers are hoping for more of a contribution in order to extend this series as far as they can go. Plus, Tampa gets back in the win column to tie up their series with Toronto. The Kings also even their series with the Oilers. Are the Flames in trouble vs. the Stars? Colorado is the only team in cruise control as they're on the verge of a sweep? And the Blues and Wild looks like it's going to go to a Game 7 as expected as I'll cover all that's happening on the ice as we get deeper into this first round. (39:39) I'll take a look at the MLB landscape as there have been some injuries to reports (i.e. Marcus Stroman, Zach Wheeler) but with the first month of the season completed, I'll recap what's happening on the diamond as the Mets continue to win series and have the biggest division lead in the sport as of today, the Twins, White Sox, Angels & Astros have played well, the Brewers and Cardinals are holding it down in the NL Central and the NL West has been competitive to date. (46:14) The Kentucky Derby provided an all time upset as Rich Strike, a horse that was filling in as an alternate for the scratched Ethereal Road at 80-1, wins over heavily favored horses Epicenter and Zandon to finish the first leg of the Triple Crown. Does Rich Strike have a shot to win at the Preakness? Is he a one-hit wonder? (51:40) Canelo Alvarez was surprisingly dominated by Dmitry Bivol on Saturday night in a WBA super light heavyweight fight. Was that expected from a guy who only lost one other fight previously in his career? (53:46) Charles Oliveira defeated Justin Gaethje in UFC 274, but did not come out with the belt as the lightweight champion. Why was that the case? (55:47) The next great tennis star has arrived. Carlos Alcaraz, an 18 year old Spaniard had an impressive run at the Madrid Open winning his fourth title of 2022. Who he beat in the process? You'll have to listen for yourself as this is a guy we'll have to pay attention to on the tennis circuit for years to come. (58:13) In closing, my Hero and Zero of the Week.
