2007 MLB Predictions

As I am in the middle of my first fantasy baseball draft of the year (Alfonso Soriano with my first pick!), I will go ahead and make my Division champion, NL and AL champion and World Series champions. These predictions probably don’t have much merit because I haven’t been keeping up with how every team has looked this spring. However, that may turn out to be a good thing because then I won’t over analyze anything…and when that happens, I’m usually better off anyway.

National League

East – Philadelphia Phillies
Central – Chicago Cubs
East – LA Dodgers
Wild Card – Arizona Diamondbacks

American League

East – Boston Red Sox
Central – Detroit Tigers
West – Texas Rangers
Wild Card – Minnesota Twins

ALCS – Red Sox over the Tigers

NLCS – Phillies over the Cubs

World Series Champion – BOSTON RED SOX

So those are my picks, conveniently made right before the season kicks off tonight. As far as I’m concerned, this seems to be one of the more wide open years for baseball. Of course I’m hoping for the Cubs to take the crown, but I’ve already experienced 21 years of “Wait ‘til next year”…why would the 22^nd year be any different?
