There are a few good teams. Yankees, Red Sox, Rays, Tigers, Angels and Rangers in the AL. The Phillies in the NL.

A few terrible teams. Astros, Mets, Pirates, Padres in the NL and Mariners, A's, Orioles in the AL.

And a bunch of average teams. Everyone else.

I'l be quite surprised if any teams outside of the good teams I mentioned in the AL make the playoffs.

[The Cash Register]

AL West: Texas Rangers
AL Central: Detroit Tigers
AL East: Tampa Bay Rays
Wild Cards: Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, New York Yankees

NL West: Arizona Diamondbacks
NL Central: St. Louis Cardinals
NL East: Atlanta Braves
Wild Cards: Philadelphia Phillies, Milwaukee Brewers

Random Predictions
Washington Nationals finish over .500
Texas Rangers attract 3,000,000 fans for first time in franchise history.
Home run display at Marlins Ballpark is removed by the end of the season.

The Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox will NOT win 150 games together.

I like the Nationals prediciton of over .500. I hope you're right.

I'm convinced Boston won't make the playoffs.

Lots of teams get off to slow starts. My Yankees are doing that as well, but the Sox pitching looks horrible. Back to back 10 run games. I picked them for 3rd in the east but who knows. Honestly I don't see them getting the wild card or being close. Maybe Toronto will finally move up in the division.

dodgers do better than they did last year

Cards win their division

Rangers win their division

Cub don't win theirs

This is going to be a big letdown for Angel fans, but the acquisition of Albert Pujols and C.J. Wilson is not going to automatically send them to the World Series, as some die hards believe. In fact, do not see them winning their division, the Rangers look like repeaters. Wild card and early playoff elimination looks likely.
