Baltimore will win the division! Yankee pitchers are old and crap this year, Boston has no pitching either and suck without damon, The Blue Jays just plain out suck even with all the moves they made, they were stupid and overpaid and got crap players. The devils are horrible too and I believe they will beat the Blue Jays for 4th place.\n\n\nAL East Standings\n1. Baltimore\n2. Yankees\n3. Boston\n4. Tampa Bay\n5. Toronto\n\nYou heard it hear first guys and girls.

Please listen on this one. I am a huge Phillies phan, i love em to death and they missed the playoffs by an inch last time around. But they WILL NOT win the NL east my friend. The losses of Billy Wagner, Jason Michaels, and Urbina (to jail lol) doesn't complete their squad and i fear to say they will fall juuuuuust short once again this year. Dont get me wrong, im rootin 4 em all year like u r too but chair throwing and alcoholic media hangovers won't put the phils in the drivers seat...they could get a DUI charge though...

Hmmm...are you looking at this season only, or careers?  I think Pedro has been getting a raw deal when he pitches, because a few games they didn't back him up with any offense, so he ended up getting a no decision or loss.  Lately they've been on such a tear I think any pitcher will benefit on the mound.  (I'm going to the game tonight, so I hope they keep the winning going!)  Glavine has ended up having the best record so far for the Mets, which is awesome for him.  I think both are on their way to the All Star Game, and I would love to see Glavine get the start.  It's really great to see an older pitcher still being consistent and getting wins.  Personally, I like Pedro better because I enjoy his goofy personality - he makes me laugh, and keeps everyone smiling!\n\nThey're both locks on the Hall, but too bad neither will go in as a Met.  I'm still hoping that Glavine will get the Mets their no-hitter, so he'll be in the Hall as a Met for that!

I think that, so long as they keep having fun, they will keep winning. That is the key, I think, to this years Mets. If you watch them play, they're always smiling & laughing. Even Milledges home run celebration; even if many think it was excessive, HE was having the time of his life. They came together as a team, there are no prima donnas,  They want to win, not because of the ring or the World Series bonus, but because winning is more fun than losing.\n\nThey are remembering (and hopefully reminding everyone else) that baseball is a game, not  just big business. So long as their health stays good, and their rotation continues to produce, they're going all the way.

They were very surprising to me last year. Chad Cordero will convert over 50 saves this year, and if they give Alfonso Soriano what he wants, he will get around his career high last year, 104 RBI's. Their starting pitching lineup is good, but I will just say this. When Livan Hernandez and Russ Ortiz are not pitching, the batting must do the work. My Washington Nationals prediction:3rd in the NL East, with a 87-75 record. Playoff birth will come soon. Please give me more of your team prediction questions. Football, Basketball, and Baseball.

Right now they have a 1/30 chance, which is roughly three percent.  \n\nThere are other variables such as luck, injuries, and performance that can raise this number.  \n\nIf the Mets go to the playoffs at the end of the regular season they will have theoretically a 1/8 chance which is roughly 12 percent.  \n\nIf they go to the World Series, they will have roughly a 1/2 chance depending on such things as whether they have homefield advantage, a healthy pitching staff, and guys that step it up big in the playoffs.  \n\nThere is a high probablity your Mets will not win the World Series this year.  But you never know and this is Baseball so anytihng can happen.

Well, there is still a chance that the Braves will win the NL East, every year baseball analyst predict that this is the year that the Braves reign will end but they always prove them wrong. Last season they were struggling but ended up winning the division yet again. However, this season their problems are much deeper than in the past. For one, this is a team that has always relied on their pitching and that is the one area in which they are doing very poorly in. Their bullpen is really shaky it seems that they just can't hold any leads that they are given.\n\nTheir team ERA is at 4.83 only the Cubs and Brewers have a worse ERA in the National League. If they are to win the NL East they are going to need some pitching help in particular bullpen help.

i'm a yankee's fan, but if the season eneded right now, i don't see them going the distance only becuase their pitching has been inconsistant at best. detroit is playing some amazing ball, but i think they might lack the maturity to really carry it through( if they stay intact, i'd think they'd be a really great pick for next year). I guess if i'm gonna stick it out there, i'd have to give it to the chicago white sox in the american league. they might be a little shaky in a couple of positions (center field need's a ton of help)...but to me they are the entire package, good offence and for the most part solid 'd' and pitching( i love contreras).\n\nin the national league, the mets are playing incredible baseball right now. their sticks seem to always be on fire and with pedro and glavine pitching the way they are, they almost seem unbeatable. billy wagner might be the thorn in their side, he's great, but he show's a vunelrability that could be the mets down fall in  tight games.\n\nof course st louis is out there too. right now without poujous, they might not be able to put it all to bed, but it's early...and i'm sure when he comes back....the cards will be a major contender.\n\nthe reality is it's way too early in the season to think in terms of october, a lot of teams cleveland, oakland, minesota, which were getting shlacked early on are starting to get all the pistons running at the same time...oh yeah let's not forget the dodgers...they are really starting to turn it on.\n\npersonlly, i'm thinking this could end up being an exciting season. there are a lot of good teams out there....the diffrerance between the "have's' and the "have not's" is a clearly defined as in years past.

I guess you can say it this way, "I hope the N.Y Mets had a good time, because they are not going to win that division for a while."       I think the Braves are going to have an incredible season next year - like they have had in the past.  \n           \n          Why have the Braves been so good, for so long?  Well that would be the Bullpen.  The problem last year for Atlanta was that they didn't have a bullpen.  Their lineup and offense last year, and even their defense was almost unmatched - but without a bullpen to finish games, very few games are going to result with a W (win).\n\n           What is fun about the Braves is they take young players and raise and train them into outstanding athletes.  It isn't the Yankees, who can afford to buy an All-Star team every year.\n           \n           I could go on and on about the talent on the Braves team, like Chipper Jones, Jeff Francouer, Andrew Jones, Marcus Giles, Adam Laroche, Brian McCann, etc..., but the thing is, we have so much potential in the Bullpen - the Braves had a lot of key injuries last year that obviously made a difference.\n\n           So, what do I think of all this?  Well, it is simple, the Braves are going to definetly make the playoffs.  But this is where the next problem is, they have struggled in the playoffs.  I think it is all going to change this year.  Once they get the Bullpen figured out (and they will this year), there is no stopping the Atlanta Braves!
