AL East - Red Sox
AL Central - Tigers
AL West - Mariners
AL WC - Yankees
NL East - Mets
NL Central - Cubs
NL West - D'backs
NL WC - Phillies
ALCS - Red Sox over Tigers
NLCS - Mets over Cubs
WS - Red Sox over Mets (I'll say in four games so everyone gets
free furniture. Last year they only had to win it. I hear Jordan's insurance company was pissed so they made it more difficult this year).
I went back and forth between the Tigers and Indians to win the Central. Even with the Tigers' suspect relief pitching, I still think they're stronger than the Indians all around. I also debated on having the wild card come from the Central and not the East, as has been mostly the case in recent years. It seems every year we hear talk that the WC won't come from the East, but it seems to always happen.
The NL WC I was less sure of - the Braves, Brewers and the other teams in the West not named the Giants could also win it and I wouldn't be surprised.
I'm just glad baseball is back (and being played in North America).
