2012 MLB Predictions

[Ticket Mouse]

Been meaning to do this for two weeks now:

AL West:
Texas
LAA
SEA
OAK

AL Central
Det
Minn
KC
CWS
CLE

AL East
TB
NYY
Tor
Bos
Balt

NL West
LAD
AZ
CO
SF
SD

NL Central
STL
Cincy
MIL
CHC
Pitt
Hou

NL East-by far the hardest to handicap. I don't think Philly is all that good and they are hurting with injuries. Staff is still outstanding but they'll lose more 1-0 games than they'll win. Miami will take 100 games to get going and will fall apart in the last 15 games. Watch out of Atl and don't sleep on the Nats. The Mets will come back down to earth and suck. Here goes:

Wash
Philly
ATL
Miami
NYM

Wash has a pretty decent starting 5 and I think their bats are better than Philly right now. If Ryan Howard can get back by June 15 then they have a very good shot of winning but I don't see it happening.


ALWC1 NYY
ALWC2 LAA

NLWC1 Philly
NLWC2 AZ

Rangers and Dodgers in the Series. Rangers win. Hello win column.

I don't think your NL West picks would have been the same had you done this 2 weeks ago.

CO and SF would have been switched. Other than that it would have been the same. I love this Dodgers team. To finish .500 like they did last year was a minor miracle. Now that they have an owner and can actually do some things at the trade deadline I think they'll outbattle AZ. If I had made my picks before Magic purchased the team I would have had AZ winning the division and SF still 3rd.
