I was thinking about how this season would shape out today, and decided I wanted to know what you guys thought too (not sure why, but I digress)
Here's how I see things shaping out. ( I was going to add my ballpark of what each teams record would be, but then I decided the Royals couldn't REALLY go 12-150 to make all my numbers accurate.
AL East
1. Red Sox (by maybe 3 games?)
2. Yankees (Wild Card Winner)
3. Rays
4. Orioles ( With as good of a record possible while still ending up 4th)
5. Blue Jays
AL Central (toughest to decide by far)
1. Twins ( By 2 games or less)
2. White Sox (over Detroit by 2 games or less)
3. Tigers
4. Indians
5. Royals (12-150) [Soria has 12 wins and 12 saves somehow]
AL West
1. Rangers ( By 4 games)
2. Angels
3. Mariners
4. A's
NL East
1. Phillies (by 6 games)
2. Braves
3. Mets
4. Nationals
5. Marlins
NL Central
1. Cardinals (by 9 games)
2. Brewers
3. Reds
4. Cubs
5. Astros
6. Pirates (16-146)
NL West
1. Rockies (By 1 game)
2. Giants (Wild Card Winner)
3. Dodgers
4. Diamondbacks
5. Padres
Definitely tough to commit to all of these, so be gentle. : )
Have fun.
