AL EAST: The Redsox are going to win it this year. I'm not saying that because I really hate the Yankees. I'm saying it because I feel this is the Redsox's year. I mean, I'll admit, the Yankees have a power-house offense and defense this year, but the Redsox finally have a decent closer in Keith Faulk. I believe the main reason they didn't win last year was because of their bullpen. And it seems they have a steady one this year.

AL CENTRAL: It'll probably come down to the last week or so before the team wins the division. I hate to pick over my Twins, but the Whitesox will probably win it this year. The reason I picked the Whitesox over the Twins, is because the Twins lost key pitchers and key infielders. They lost Eddie Guardado, who arguably, was their best closer. They lost third basemen A.J. Perz. I just don't think the Twins will hold the top spot for long if they get it.

AL WEST: I've picked the A's the past two years to win, and they have, but I'm going with the Mariners on this one. Though neither team lost that many key players, it should be a close race to probably the last week, like the AL Central. A's will win the Wildcard, though.

NL EAST: I'm gonna go with the Philidelphia Phillies on this. The Braves just don't seem like the dominant team this year like they've been for the past 12 years, since they don't have Maddux, Lopez, Sheffield, and a few others anymore. Kevin Milwood will be the Phillie's ace this year, but he won't have another No-Hitter this year. Phillies just seem like the strong team this year in the East.

NL CENTRAL: Easy pick for me. Chicago Cubs. Pitching wins games. And the Cubs have arguably, the best pitching rotation this year, with Prior, Maddux, Clement, Wood, and Zambrano. Althought Maddux will most likely will be the 5th pitcher on the rotation, it's still a very dominant pitching rotation. The Astros will win the Wildcard this year.

NL WEST: Arizona Diamondbacks, plain and simple. The Giants will fall apart this year, leaving a huge opportunity for the Diamondbacks. Though I feel the Padres will put up a fight for the division, I think the Diamondbacks will pull away mid-way through the second half of the season.
