National League and World Series

NL East: Mets in a landslide. The Braves are not much improved. The Phillies define mediocrity every year. The Nationals are rebuilding. The Marlins will put up a fight despite a payroll less than Alex Rodriguez yearly salary. Mets win by at least ten games and the Marlins stay in the Wild Card hunt until the very end.

NL Central: I never liked the Cardinals, they are just a boring team. Houston lost Pettite and Clemens look for a rough year with them. Pittsburgh is just blah. The Cubbies have a new manager and a new center fielder they will be up there. Cincinatti stays the same. Milwaukee has some good pitching and could surprise. Six mediocre teams in the NL Central Cardinals, Cubs, or Brewers all could make a case. I guess the defending champs take it.

NL West: Another bad division in baseball. Los Angeles looks the best with the addittion of Schmidt and such. The Giants are taking some of Barry Bonds drugs as they gave seventeen million per for a pitcher. Colorado and Arizona both stay the same. San Diego makes the wild card with a decent showing this year. LA for the win!

Round 1:
Mets Vs. Padres
The stacked Mets sweep the poor little Padres.
Cardinals Vs. Dodgers
Semi-Stacked Dodgers roll through the Cardinals.

Round 2:
Mets Vs. Dodgers
In a close series the Mets will pull away. They deserved it last year and will finally get it this year.

World Series:
Sox vs. Mets
1986 all over again. This will go to seven games as well. Schilling will once again lead the Sox to glory on his last game. A close series with a lot of drama.
