AL EAST:

1. Red Sox

2. Rays (WC)

2. Mets (WC)

3. Braves

4. Marlins

5. Nationals

 

NL CENTRAL:

NL WEST:

One thing I've noticed is that almost every sports writer I've heard give their predictions has had the Red Sox in the playoffs somewhere, whether it's the division or the wild card. I haven't heard anyone yet pick the Yankees and the Rays, but not the Red Sox. I think that definitely speaks to how good this team can be this year.

 

I put the Royals last, but I wonder if they could be that Cinderella team this year. I was playing them on The Show last night, and the lineup has a lot of potential. If guys like Alex Gordon could just get it together, they could be really good.

 

I agree with riverside about the Reds being a possible Cinderella as well.

seems a little odd

[ARod2212]

This is all retarded. Nobody is clairvoyant, everyone is talking out of their ass.

 

The Patriots were going to win at least 14 games this year, then Brady blew out his knee. Same concept applies.

[Optimist]

Wow, a lot of people had the Yankees not even making the post season.

[Cocos Disciples]

Hahahahahahaha

 

Guardians, A's, Mets, Cubs. Yep.

[example1]

I'm shocked and disappointed that I didn't jump into this in April.

It's funny that the division you missed by a lot is the one you (probably) watch the most. You definitely can't get them all.

 

I read your predictions at the top first and was impressed. So impressed that I double checked the date.

 

I think there's some others who did pretty well too...
