                    Arizona over New York in 4
                    Milwaukee over Atlanta in 3

                             Arizona over Milwaukee in 5

That's right, I'm predicting an 18 game improvement for the D-Rays, a 5-game improvement for both the Royals and the Pirates, and a playoff berth for the Braves.

I never claimed to be sane.

I'm surprised by the lack of competition in the AL West.

Well, seems out announcers thought it was about time, as well.

Joe Simpson's picks:

BoSox, Indians, Mariners, Braves, Brewers, and D'backs as division winners, the Tigers and Phillies as wild cards, and an Indians-Braves World Series.

Jon Sciambi's picks:

Bosox, Tigers, Angels, Phillies, Cubs, and D'backs as division winners, the Indians and Braves as wild cards, and a BoSox-D'backs World Series.

FOX Sports on MSN - MLB - Braves have the goods to be October surprise

OK - hadn't read PG 's blog nor what KR said when I posted. Just got a feelin'. Thought it might be fun to sock it to Leyland one more time - as he was so used to when Pirates played the Braves. He's loaded up with a NL team - but only one WS purchase allowed per career.

Had my cousins from DEETROIT in this weekend & that was their consensus as well.
