Yes, they have a good chance. Amaris Ramirez, Derrek Lee, and if Kerry Wood and Mark prior actually get healthy, there team is beastly. But remember, no one is guarenteed in playoffs. As you have probably heard millions of times already, its the hottest team that wins. But its true. Cardinals were the worst team going in. They won. Yanks were predicted everywhere to win. They lost in first round.

I think it will be New England and Seattle.  Seattle is a good team and has done well this season.  New England is a tough team to stop even though everyone is counting them out I still think they are a force to be reckoned with.

The Indians were legit last year. Even though they lost Millwood, Elarton and Howry, they should still be a very good young team. Travis Hafner is quite possibly the strongest guy in baseball right now. I dunno if they have enough to beat the White Sox this year, but definately in the next few years.

I agree with jt.  It's the Rangers all the way!  I don't really care too much if they're not the best team out there, but they're still my team.  If you don't like that, then tough luck. :)

Mets are the best team in the national league, so i feel like they will win the NL, but I don't think anybody will be able to beat either the White Sox or the Tigers, those 2 teams are excellent all around.  Mets could shock them i suppose, but i would still favor the white sox or tigers over them.

How you say that they don't have enough offense?  Ortiz and Manny will again be dominant.  Beckett and Schilling are lights out.  Their bullpen is solid.  AND, if rumors come true, Clemens would be the final piece of this team.  Even without him, I feel that the Sox are poised to stop the Yankees' run in the AL East.  They also have a great shot at taking the Series this year, too.

Cardinals great hitting\nWhite Sox they won last year, the cubs might never win\nIndians they are more likely\nMarlins the have Dontrel Willis\nOrioles by defult\nYankees a team that has a better chance then any of the others win it this year. The mets can not win that division.

I'm going to have to go with the Mets. Despite them spending lots of money last year and yielding no result, they have actually spent their money well this year. Money buys good teams now and these days (of course, except the Yankees who flamed last year). They are a well rounded team, good hitting, good pitching, good defense. They have it all.\n\nI don't think any of the other teams have as good "teams" as the Mets. A lot of them did not do well during the offseason so it should not be as close as it was last year.

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.

St. Louis Cardinals have a great shot this year.

haha I like this! GO REDSOX! They will win it at home, in 4 games against the Astros. They will have had to beat, I laugh at this, "the best" yankees team. they will beat them in 4 games by 5 runs or more. GO REDSOX!

Im gonna have to say the white sox.  They have the best 3-4-5 hitting combo in baseball today.  They are all right at or over 300 in batting average and they have the top 2 homerun totals in the AL.  They also have good speed on the bases and good contact hitters.  Their pitching has been a little streaky this year but they still have six capable starters.  Their bullpen is getting better everyday too.  They have a good minor league system behind them and will be able to make a trade if they need to for the final push at the end of the year.

Without question, the Boston Red Sox. They have the best starting pitching in the league and an outstanding bullpen. That together with a reasonably strong hitting lineup will carry them to the divisional title. The Yankees have some question marks with their pitching and lack any depth for position players, as is witnessed by the loss of Sheffield and Matsui. The Blue Jays also have pitching problems and cannot compete for the title unless they improve in that area.
