Second Half Predictions

AL EAST

BOS #3 Seed
NYY #1 WC
BAL
SAD
TOR

The AL East will come down to the two teams that it always comes down to, the Yankees and Red Sox. The Yankees lead has shriveled but the key to look out for is the pitching. New York has the better rotation, Boston has the better lineup, but at the end of the day it will come down to experience. Boston should win this division by 3-4 games but expect a Wildcard from this division.

AL CENTRAL

CHW #2 Seed
CLE #2 WC
DET
MIN
KC

The White Sox rotation and lineup has bolstered them to the top of division. The one question to ask is can the youth and age mix to keep them up their. Next would come the Indians. They lost out on the playoffs bairley last year but are looking to get a title back. The experience to win is there and they will match the White Sox all the way to the very end. Everyone else has a little shot, mainly Detroit and Minnesota but from this point on its a 2 team race. Chicago should win the division by about 5 games but Cleveland should be in all the way and will probably see a Wild Card berth.

AL WEST

ANA #1 seed
SEA
OAK
TEX

The Angels yet again will win this division. Honestly there is no one to challenge them here. Seattle with a few moves could maybe do something but it wont be enough. Anahiem is loaded with every all star known to man and they will win the division by atleast 10 games.

NL EAST

FLA #3 seed
NYM
ATL
WAS
PHI

Florida will as always win this division. They've got experience and all the assets to back it up. Although Atlanta and New York with a few moves could very well make a run. The Mets have flirted with 1st place all season but the Marlins have always found a way to stay in front. Down the stretch this is close. Florida wins division by about 3-5 games.

NL CENTRAL

MIL #2 seed
CHC #2 WC
STL
CIN
HOU
PIT

This is prob the most open race in all of baseball and the best competition the NL Central has had in years. It'll come down to 4 teams most likely, the Brewers, Cubs, Cards, and Reds. The Brewers rotation and offense should have just enough to put them over Chicago but it'll come down to the final sim most likely. Milwaukee wins by 1-2 games.

NL WEST

SF #1 seed
ARI #1 WC
LAD
SD
COL

Yes, for once the Padres wont have the worst record. The Giants should win this division but it'll be a close fight down to the last few sims. Arizona has the better rotation and the Giants have the better Lineup, but we all know it'll come down to Albert Pujols. Giants win division by 2-3 games.
