It's Baseball Season...

Sorry we've been MIA for so long. For me, work has been crazy the past few weeks. I've been sick. And some family was visiting from out of town. Hopefully we can get back into the flow of posting regularly again.

Anyway, with that, I've decided to post my predictions for the upcoming baseball season, which starts tonight at 8 p.m. EDT as the Mets take on the Cardinals in a battle of two of the better teams in the National League. Since every so-called "expert" predicts division winners, playoff series and award winners before the season, why can't I? Well, I can. So here it goes (but I'm going to predict the entire finish of divisions, not just division winners).

AL East
1. New York
2. Boston
3. Toronto
4. Baltimore
5. Tampa Bay

AL Central
1. Detroit
2. Chicago
3. Minnesota
4. Cleveland
5. Kansas City

AL West
1. Los Angeles
2. Oakland
3. Texas
4. Seattle

NL East
1. New York
2. Atlanta
3. Philadelphia
4. Florida
5. Washington, D.C.

NL Central
1. St. Louis
2. Chicago
3. Houston
4. Milwaukee
5. Cincinnati
6. Pittsburgh

NL West
1. San Diego
2. Los Angeles
3. Arizona
4. San Francisco
5. Colorado

Wild Card Winners
AL: Boston
NL: Los Angeles

AL Division Playoffs
Detroit over Boston
Los Angeles over New York

NL Division Playoffs
New York over Los Angeles
St. Louis over San Diego

AL Championship
Detroit over Los Angeles

NL Championship
New York over St. Louis

World Series
New York over Detroit

I'm not really too sure about the playoffs, so don't trust my predictions on that. I think Chicago and Oakland in the AL and Atlanta and Philadelphia in the NL will have a shot at the wild card as well. San Diego and Los Angeles will come down to the wire again this year. St. Louis should be able to run away with the NL Central. The Mets will have a tough run, but repeat. The Yankees and Red Sox will come down to the final couple of weeks. Detroit will win the AL Central by 5+ games, and the teams finishing second through fourth will all be within four games of each other.
