I have
Philly winning the NL East easily over Atlanta/Washington/Florida who all come in at about 85 wins.
The Cardinals winning the NL Central. With the Reds and Brew Crew in striking distance. Surprised if Houston doesn't lost 100 games.
The NL West goes to the DBacks with SF and Colorado the likely wild cards.
The AL East looks to be a three team race with the Rays, Red Sox and Yankees, in that order, looking to avoid hoping for the Wild Card. The Jays will be good but will struggle to .500 and Baltimore might have the worst record in the league despite not being the worst team.
The AL Central is my lock pick. Detroit is the only good team in that division.
The AL West will be either the Rangers or the Angels with the other battling the AL East runners up for the wild card.
But for here, let me give you the order of finishes and the predicted winners (divisional first place is the first in order). Wild Card entrants will be denoted with *.
AMERICAN LEAGUE
East: Tampa Bay, New York Yankees*, Boston, Toronto, Baltimore Central: Detroit, Kansas City, Minnesota, Cleveland, Chicago White Sox West: Los Angeles Angels, Texas*, Oakland, Seattle
NATIONAL LEAGUE
East: Philadelphia, Atlanta*, Miami, Washington, New York Mets Central: St Louis, Cincinnati*, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, Chicago Cubs, Houston West: Arizona, San Francisco, Colorado, Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego
All-Star Winner: National League ALCS: Tampa Bay, Los Angeles Angels NLCS: Philadelphia, St Louis AL Pennant: Los Angeles Angels NL Pennant: St Louis World Champion: St Louis (Yes, they will repeat.)
This year seems top heavy, I see very little variance in predictions on different message boards and in the media. To me that screams that things will be crazy this year, with teams coming out of no where, and media darlings like the Tigers might not perform up to their lofty projections.
