I hand wrote my predictions about a month ago and never posted them to my silly blog. So here they are.
American League:
East - New York Yankees
Central - Detroit Tigers*
West - Oakland Athletics
WC - Texas Rangers and Boston Red Sox
The Yankees will bounce back with a healthy Jeter and Tex. The addition of Ellsbury and McCann will help, but Beltran is the key, because he allows for Soriano, Ichiro, Gardner and Ellsbury to rest and/or play DH. The Tigers will continue their dominance of the Central, due largely to their big 3 again. I know the popular picks are the Rangers and Angels in the West, but I'm loving the A's this season. They dominate at home and in a close division, that will be the difference. Texas is too strong with their young players not to make the layoffs and Boston squeaks by Baltimore, Anaheim and Tampa Bay to get the last spot.
National League:
East - Atlanta Braves
Central - St. Louis Cardinals*
West - Los Angeles Dodgers
WC - Washington Nationals and Arizona Diamondbacks
Atlanta and Washington will trade the top spot all year long, but the Atlanta crew will take it. St. Louis will dominate the Central, possibly clinching a playoff spot in mid-September. Los Angeles has too many weapons and if they need something during the season, the money to go out and get it. Washington's young guns will be tough all season and Arizona has some interesting weapons and a solid bullpen.
Wild Card Game:
Boston over Texas
Washington over Arizona
Divisional Series:
Detroit over Boston 4-3
Yankees over Oakland 4-1
St. Louis over Washington 4-3
Los Angeles over Atlanta 4-2
League Championship Series:
Detroit over Yankees 4-2
Los Angeles over St. Louis 4-2
World Series:
Detroit over Los Angeles 4-2
World Series MVP - Victor Martinez
