Loren
AL West
Seattle – Competitive last year and only got stronger in the off-season. Biggest threat will be from the Rangers who are on their way back to respectability.
AL Central
Minnesota – Riding a wave of good will and have good young talent at the plate and on the field. Plus, they just know how to get it done.
AL East
New York – Duh. They may very well have purchased another championship. Yawn. I sincerely hope that the Rays or Red Sox take the division, but smart money is on the Yanks.
AL Wild Card
Boston – Their rotation should propel them into the post-season where it’s a bit easier to win a string of 1 and 2 run games. Wouldn’t be surprised to see them in the AL Championship or World Series.
NL West
LA – I really want to take the Rockies here and they finally have a team that could make it possible, but the Dodgers have the confidence and the bats to take the division. Pitching is a little suspect, but that probably won’t bother them, again, until the post-season.
NL Central
Milwaukee – This is the year the Brewers leap the punchless Cards for the division win. They have a lot of good young players that have now lived through a season of heightened expectations. They won’t be fazed by pressure.
NL East
Philadelphia – Another no-brainer, though I expect the Marlins to be dangerous this year. The Phillies are just too strong top to bottom and, barring serious injuries to multiple players, they’ll walk away with the division.
NL Wild Card
Colorado – I had to put them somewhere, but with their live arms and good young bats, it’s not a stretch for them to make it to the playoffs again.
ALDS
Yankees over Twins 3-2
Mariners over Red Sox 3-2
NLDS
Phillies over Rockies 3-1
Dodgers over Brewers 3-1
ALCS
Mariners over Yankees 4-2
Phillies over Dodgers 4-3
WS
Phillies over Mariners 4-2

Mariners in the world series? LOL are you on crack Loren? Want to put money down on that? They got a pitching upgrade but they are going to struggle to score runs..
Clint
I am most likely smoking crack, but it's easier to go get a bat than it is to get good pitching.
If the staff starts strong and puts the Ms in contention during the first half, believe that the Ms will swing a trade to bring in some lumber.
The trick, of course, is getting that solid pitching and just enough scoring to sniff the division lead. I think they'll get it.
But we've already established that I'm smoking crack, so...
