The Yankees started poorly last year too didn't they? I don't think Yankee fans have much to worry about. I'm really worried about the Cubs as they haven't shown much consistency yet. I see the Astros and Cubs challenging the Cards for the NL Central, but I don't think either can touch them at this point.
The NL West is going to be a race to watch between the Padres and Dodgers. The Giants may put up a fight, but I think it will be the Padres that pull it off, and the Dodgers will win the NL Wild Card.
The NL East is a really tough call. I can see any of the teams winning that division. I see Atlanta and Florida having the best shot at it, and I see the Braves streak of division championship coming to an end at the hands of the Marlins.
The AL East will be Yankees/Red Sox again, but I think the O's will stick around longer than most people would expect. I think the Red Sox will actually win the division this year, though, with the Yanks earning the Wild Card.
The White Sox and Twins will battle for the AL Central with Cleveland sticking around for some time. I think the Sox will be able to pull it off this year.
The AL West is the easiest pick for me. I have the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim running away with the division.
In the playoffs I forsee:
Division Series:
Dodgers over Cardinals
Padres over Marlins
Angels over Yankees
Red Sox over White Sox
Championship Series:
Padres over Dodgers
Angels over Red Sox
World Series:
Angels over Padres (5 games)
