MLB Division Leaders

Who do you guys think will be the division leaders come the end of the season?

Here's mine:

NL:

East: Braves. Can't go against my boys

Central: Cardinals. They'll turn it around, Just too much talent

West: Colorado. Finally starting to hit the ball pretty well

Wildcard: Phillies. Just too talented to not make a big push in the 2nd half

AL:

East: Rays. Sorry 88 and golf, but i don't think the Red Sox  can overcome their injuries and I think the Rays turn it on bigtime

Central: Minnesota. Close race but I think they take it

West: Texas. Nobody else in that division will really challenge them

Wildcard: Yankees. Too talented to be denied a postseason birth

NL East:  Braves.  If I said anyone else, it'd be like me saying Auburn would lose the Iron Bowl...

NL Cent:  Like you, its hard to pick against the Cards, but I'm going to go with the Reds.  If not for their little slump closing out the season, they'd be in better shape. 

NL West:  Disagree on the Rockies.  They are streaky.  They were hot as a fire cracker before the break.  Padres have the 2nd best record in the Naitonal League and have been slightly more consistent.

AL East:  Unfortunately the Yankees.  As if they weren't already the favorites, now they have a battle cry.

AL Cent:  Hardest one to call.  I think the white sox are the equivalent of the Rockies.  Very streaky and hit the streak late.  I'll take Minnesota here.

AL West:  Horrible division.  I think the Angels will come out of their slump and take it (not saying much).

NL:

EAST: Braves -- yea they are my team but the grit that they are winning games with is unbelievable.

WEST: Rockies -- This is a close race between the 3 teams, but I think San Diego has played better than they are

CENTRAL: Astros (haha jk) Cardinals -- the Reds are for real this year but The Cards have the 2nd half experience

WILD: Dodgers -- This could be Phillies, but the west teams may have the best race at the end of the year.

AL:

EAST: Rays -- I think they turn it on, especially with maybe a key pickup at trade deadline, unless they trade Upton

WEST: Rangers -- With Cliff Lee to go with that offense, they finally win the division.

CENTRAL: White Sox -- I just see potential in that lineup

WILD: Yankees -- Finish a game back of the Rays for best AL record.

Playoffs:

NL: Braves beat Dodgers, Rockies beat Cardinals, Braves beat Rockies

AL: Rays beat White Sox, Yankees beat Rangers, Yankees beat Rays

World Series:

Braves beat Yankees in World Series due to home field advantage to send Bobby and Chipper out on top! Go Bravos!

NL

EAST: Braves -- Hudson, Lowe, Jurjjens, Medlen, Hanson

CENTRAL: Cards -- Carpenter, Wainwright, Garcia. Votto can't do it alone for the Reds.

WEST: Rockies -- really could be anyone but the Dbacks

WILD: Dodgers, NL West runner-up

AL:

EAST: Yankees -- Sabathia, Pettitte, Hughes. A-Rod, Cano, Teixeira

CENTRAL: White Sox -- If the Twins go get Roy Oswalt then I'd pick them instead.

WEST: Rangers -- Finding a way to get Cliff Lee amidst all their financial trouble was impressive.

WILD: Rays

I'll give a prediction.

NL East:  Braves.  Playing really well.  When one player slumps someone picks up the slack.

NL Central:  Cards.  Cincy can't block the door forever.

NL West:  SD.  I know Col and LA are the better teams, but Padres have held there own all year.  I really hope they can make the playoffs.

Wildcard:  A team out west.  I will go with LA.

AL East:  TB.  I think they make a run.

AL Central:  Detroit.  CWS can't keep it up.  Too streaky.

AL West:  Texas.  Angels can't catch up

Wildcard:  Yankees.  Too much talent not to have one of the best records in baseball.  Could easily just switch with TB. 

I guess it depends on what trades happen before the deadline.

I love seeing the Rangers on most of the list.  Been a huge fan all my life.  Mark my words they will be a staple at the top of the west (not saying much) for years to come.  If this owner thing ever gets cleared up and Nolan stays with us.  Go RANGERS!!!

How did everyone do? I was 0-4 in the NL but nailed the AL.

well, fish you weren't totally off in the NL. You missed the West and Central, but the East and WC were the teams you predicted, just different results.

I also stunk up the NL and only missed Minnesota in the AL Central.  For the NL, i knew the ones that did make it would be apart of the race but chose all the pretenders instead of contenders.  :dunno:
