10. Los Angeles Dodgers
The Dodgers were a last place team until July, when they decided to turn things around in a big way. They would end the 2013 regular season in first place in the NL West and ultimately lost in the NLCS in six games.

The Pacers improved by leaps and bounds in 2013. They took the Heat to seven games in the ECF and they're on pace to get back there and beyond in 2014.
The Seahawks went from a .500 team to an elite team in 2013. Russell Wilson and company are nearly unbeatable at home and it looks like the road to SB 48 could run through Seattle.
The Broncos are a really good team, but can they get over the hump in the playoffs? They didn't in January of 2013, so as a result, they're only the seventh best team of the year.
Not many teams can switch QBs during the middle of a season and make the Super Bowl. The 49ers got to the big game in 2013, but fell just short of their ultimate goal.
The Cardinals nearly won 100 games in 2013 and they made it all the way to the World Series. For fans of the legendary franchise, that's just another season.
The Heat won their second consecutive title in 2013. It wasn't in the most convincing of fashions, but they got the job done.
It wasn't easy, but the Blackhawks hoisted the Stanley Cup for the second time in four years in 2013. Along the way they brought lots of positive attention to the sport of hockey.
The Ravens went on in improbable Super Bowl run in the winter of 2013. Ray Lewis' last ride was certainly one for the ages.
The Red Sox posted the best record in the AL in 2013, but they didn't stop there. The bearded Sox kept the momentum going all the way to the franchise's third title in the last 10 years.
