[biggentleben]

AL East: Yankees

AL Central: Cleveland

AL West: Houston

Wild Cards: Tampa Bay, Boston (though I'm more confident in the Rays than Red Sox)

Bold Prediction: Angels finish with the best non-playoff record in this scenario and could be the playoff spoiler with a couple mid-year moves.

 

NL East: Washington

NL Central: Milwaukee

NL West: Dodgers

Wild Cards: Colorado, St. Louis

Bold predictions: NL East and NL Central combine for 2 90-win teams with 9 of the 10 teams in the two divisions posting 75+ wins. Other bold prediction is that the Cubs finish last in the NL Central.
