World series- yankees over braves

AL EAST-Yankees
AL CENTRAL- Twins
AL WEST- Rangers
AL WILDCARD- Tigers

NL EAST- Phillies
NL CENTRAL- St. Louis
NL WEST- Giants
NL WILDCARD- Dodgers

WORLD SERIES- Twins over Phillies

I am taking your same picks Boston

AL EAST- Sox
AL CENTRAL- Twins
AL WEST- Rangers
AL WILDCARD- Yankees

NL EAST- Phillies
NL CENTRAL- St. Louis
NL WEST- Giants
NL WILDCARD- Dodgers

AL EAST-YANKEES(too much firepower in the heart of that order)

AL CENTRAL-WHITE SOX(goin out on a limb,but i like the rotation)

AL WEST-ANGELS(i really love their style of play)

WILDCARD-RED SOX(another great rotation,ellsbury and pedroia are really solid)

NL EAST-PHILLIES(too much chaos in New York.Atlanta will challenge but fall just short for the dividision)

NL CENTRAL-CARDINALS(If Carpenter and Wainwright stay healthy this team could be dangerous)

NL WEST-GIANTS(too much pitching and i think theyll put more runs on the board this year)

WILDCARD-BRAVES(torn between ATL and CHI but the GOAT will strike again in the Windy City)

WORLD SERIES-CARDINALS-YANKEES...CARDINALS IN 7....

Al East-Boston
Al Central-(like anyone really cares) Twins
AL West-Rangers( division is horrible but Angels no longer have their star power pitching anymore and they no longer have Vlad and Chone Figgins

WildCard-Rays

NL East-Phillies(who else besides Braves. They have like the best rotation in baseball and a powerhouse of a lineup even though Ryan Howard is in it)
NL Central-Cardinals( Cubs will be too busy battling Reds for last place)
NL West-Anybody's division because its so putrid

NL Wild Card-Braves

WS Either Phillies or Cardinals will win and they'll beat Boston in 6 or 7 games

Boston doesn't have the offence to get through the al playoffs. We need our big 3 Beckett, Lester, and lackey to stay healthy for us to have any chanse! We will pitch and play D efficantly though.

philly's over wait for it!!!!!!!!!!!!the ray's ,that's right the RAY'S.they are older plus they know how to beat the b!tch a$$ YANKEE'S and REDSOX.

PHIL'S over the RAY'S ,not saying that cause i'm from philly,but baseball was and still is my first love! holla.

AL East-Yanks-All around best team in the division
AL Central-Twins/White Sox-whoever gets the better pitching towards the end of the year will take this division
AL West-Mariners-the angels have fallen off and the mariners have gotten better. they got a three headed beast once bedard comes back with lee and felix
Wild Card-Red Sox/Rays- will battle it out with whoever takes 2nd in the AL Central. but i see the rays taking it red sox have no offense which is gonna put too much pressure on there pitching.

NL East-Phillies-By far best team in the division
NL Central-Cards- Another runaway team no one else is really even competition to take first to them
NL West-Dodgers/Rockies. Winner will come down to pitching since both offenses are gonna put up runs
Wild Card-Marlins-Marlins are consistent with it every year and i think they take the wild card this year and make some noise in the playoffs

Even though they lost to payroll Phillies were the best team in baseball last year

Oh and I predict Ryan Braun will have ton of errors again lmao

I also predict Andrew McCutchen will display the greatness like last year when he was robbed of NL ROTY. It was a DAMN CRIME not to give it to him.

Noone thinks Detroit has a chance even at a wildcard???? We had the division last year but choked to the twins...Great young pitching and as long as we can earn some runs I dont see how chicago can hang.

AL East--Yankees
AL Central--Twins
AL West--Angels
Wild Card--Mariners

NL East--Marlins
NL Central--Cardinals
NL West--Rockies
Wild Card--Phillies

they have a shot at the division. It will be a close race with them and the twins but I got the twins and u have no chance at the wildcard just cuz 2 of the 3 best teams are in one division and 2 will come out, yanks and sox as usual but the rays are gonna win 92+ games and I predict have more wins then the central winner and still miss the playoffs.

As you can see with my picks, I disagree with your assessment. I think two playoff spots will come out of the west. We'll see though.

I here ya....As you can see my opinion is kinda biased but I got Minnesota winnin it all im just hopin for the yankees to choke in the playoffs.

Yankees are going to mis the playoffs. They're weak. Their pitching is going to be on a decline this year. Theyre done. Either Boston or Tampa Bay will win that division.

U may be right rob. There's a real possibility that the sox, yanks, and rays beat up on each other enough to where only one makes the playoffs. I wouldn't be too surprised if that happened. I would be surprised however if anaheim makes the playoffs, I would have Seattle and Texas coming out of the west if I had to pick 2 west teams to mmake the playoffs.

yeah i really dont see the angels makin much noise especially with both the rangers and mariners getting better in the offseason while the angels lost more than gained. off top there best pitcher is jered weaver who is at best a no. 2 guy not the ace of the staff and there best all around hitter is kendry morales, who is good but hasnt shown he can carry the load correct me if im wrong on any of those. matsui is someone who can make a splash in anaheim as well so we gotta look out for that as well

The Angels have an extremely solid pitching rotation, even though they lost Lackey. Sure, they don't have the No. 1 guy anymore, but Weaver, Saunders, Santana, Kazmir and Piniero is about as solid as you can get for a five-man rotation. I don't think it is too far of a stretch to think all five of them can win at least 10 games with most of them getting at least 15.

On the offensive side of the ball, we lost Figgins and Vlad. I easily think Matsui will get the offensive stats Vlad was able to get last year. Aybar has done an awesome job in the leadoff spot and he's great in the field. He might not be quite the caliber player that Figgy is, but I don't think he'll be far behind. The rest of our offense isn't anything to scoff at. Howie Kendrick is a great contact hitter who always has a high batting average. Now that he has the full-time spot, Brandon Wood can finally show his power, and I think he will as the season gets underway. Torii Hunter=dependable. Morales will have another good year. Napoli is streaky, but we all know he will have his power spurts. Abreu is a patient hitter who will have yet another .300 season. Izturis is good enough and Rivera is another guy who has power.

Even though the Mariners have added a lot to their lineup, I only think they made themselves as good as the Angels. I don't know why the Rangers are in this discussion. I don't think they are contenders yet. We'll see how the season goes, but I don't see any reasons to say the Angels have lost anything yet until someone else shows they can take the division from them. Ya, they're a different team, but who is to say that automatically makes them worse?

its just hard to see these changes that the angels made and think they are still gona win the division or even 90 games.. they barely win 94 games with an ace and now they dont have one... only way the angels have a chance is if the sox, yanks, and rays beat up on eachother and then u have a chance at the wild card... losing Lackey hurts a lot and u know it.. he was the heart of that rotation, last year vs the yanks when he was getting taken out and u could see him tell scosia "THIS IS MY GAME, DONT FUCKIN DO THIS TO ME, THIS IS MY FUCKIN GAME!" or something to that extent, that showed he was an ace and nothing less... im extremely excited the sox have him on our side now cuz while u do have a solid rotation still, u have no ace and if we draw u in the first round, i think we will sweep u on our pitching staff alone.. the yanks and rays are the only teams that really scare me! I really hope the angels win the west and we played in the first round cuz i think the sox improved this year and the angels took a pretty good size step back.

Braves are winning the East. Jason Heyward just smashed a 3 run homer.

Obviously you missed the Phillies game.. Howard had a 2 run bomb.. and Polanco had a Grand Salami.. Thanks for playin.

lmao braves will win wildcard if anything. Phillies have one of th best rotations in baseball along with a powerhouse of a lineup
