It should be a fun year. There are lots of legitimate World Series contenders this year: New York, Toronto and Boston in the AL East, Cleveland and Detroit in the AL Central, Los Angeles and Seattle in the AL West. Then in the National League, you have New York in the NL East and maybe a team like Arizona, Chicago or Philadelphia if everything breaks right (as I think it will for Arizona.)
