I' m not completely sure on mine yet, and I bet some of you guys aren't either, but I'll get it started:
AL EAST
1. Yankees
2. Rays*
3. Red Sox
4. Orioles
5. Blue Jays
NOTE: I keep flip-flopping on those top 3 teams. I'm expecting a bad season from Matsusaka, and I'm concerned with Boston's offense relying on some old players, so I'll leave them out for now.
AL CENTRAL
1. Twins
2. Indians
3. Tigers
4. White Sox
5. Royals
AL WEST
1. A's
2. Angels
3. Rangers
4. Mariners
NL EAST
1. Mets
2. Phillies*
3. Marlins
4. Braves
5. Nationals
NL CENTRAL
1. Cubs
2. Cardinals
3. Brewers
4. Reds
5. Astros
6. Pirates
NL WEST
1. Dodgers
2. Diamondbacks
3. Giants
4. Rockies
5. Padres

The Braves winning the East? Really?
Their rotation is deep but there's no one great. Lowe has had a 4 ERA outside of Dodger stadium the past 2 years. Vazquez can't pitch a good game to save his life. Kawakami is a complete unknown. Their bullpen, in typical Atlanta fashion, is crappy; Mike Gonzalez is up in the air as their closer. They have the worst OF in the game. Their lineup is not very good either. They have Chipper, but he's not playing over 120 games. They have McCann but he'll only play 130-140. Yunel Escobar will hit for a high BA but he doesn't have great speed or power. Kelly Johnson can hit but Cox will platoon him with Martin Prado (who can't hit at all). Kotchman was awful last year and his BABip did not indicate he was unlucky either.

Just goin out on a limb. Would be no fun if we all agreed.
i like Kotchman a bit more than you do obviously. and his BABIP was .273...so that is a bit low. i think 2007 is closer to his true abilities. i loved the Vasquez move for them. his FIP the last 3 years has been under 4.00. moving out of that ball park in chicago and going to the NL I think will help him out a lot. also counting on Tommy Hanson in the minors to come up soon and produce, he has very, very good stuff.

Injured marlins team and errors = behind the nationals

I hate to do this with predictions, but how are the Red Sox fourth? That's ridiculous.
And out of curiosity, what do you like on Houston's team this year. I'm still looking for something they do well besides having a great hitter and a great pitcher

Roy Oswalt is "so underrated he's overrated." He's never been the best pitcher in the league.
