My predictions

NL East winner
Miami marlins

NL Central
Milwaukee Brewers

NL West
Arizona Diamondbacks

Wild Card Winners
Philadelphia Phillies
Washington Nationals

The NL East is easily the division most difficult to pick. There are so many different variables and possibilities. The Central is the most jumbled. It's very hard to determine whether teams will improve with the loses of Albert Pujols and Prince Fielder, or if new mashers emerge. The West really only have two possibly three contenders, the D'backs and the San Francisco Giants, and possibly the LA Dodgers. The effect of the new ownership group may have be greater than we all expect. The two wild cards will come down to four teams, the Phillies, Nats, Atlanta Braves, and whoever doesn't win the West, the Giants in my book.

AL East
New York Yankees

AL Central
Detroit Tigers

AL West
Los Angels Angels of Anaheim

Wild Card Winners
Texas Rangers
Tampa Bay Ray

These ones were exceptionally easier to pick. The Yankees are the best in the East. Detroit is an absolute lock. And the Angels and Rangers are locks as well, but where they finish is the real question. The last spot comes down, once again, to the Rays and Boston Red Sox. I don't think Boston can compete with the Rays' pitching staff or with Skipper Joe Madden. The Kansas City Royals will be the surprise of the year, but will fall short in very close race.
