Nashville finished 72-68 this season in the American Southern Division but was outplayed by the back-to-back PCL champion Memphis Redbirds.

 

Milwaukee is coming off another strong year on the farm. Double-A Biloxi finished 81-59 in 2018 and advanced to the Southern League Championship Series. Colorado Springs went 73-66 and ended up just a game and a half from a division title.

 

As an Astros affiliate, Fresno won the Division title in 2017 with a record of 82-57 and won the second-most games in the PCL. The Rangers Triple-A club finished last in the PCL American Southern Division with a record of 65-73 and was swept by the Aces in a four-game series in Texas. The Washington Nationals Triple-A club went 64-76 last season in the International League and finished second-to-last in their division.
