No.  The NL West should be as tight as last year, as no team has more than two top tier pitchers.  The Dbacks have Webb and El Duque (orlando hernandez) and Russ Ortiz as well--they'll finish in the middle, probably over .500 even.  The Colorado Rockies will finish last.

Nope. They don't have the pitching to get it done. They're score a boat load or runs, sure. And they're probably even going to make it into the post season. But once they get into the post season and are in a short series against guys like Schilling/Beckett or Harden/Zito then they're all done.

At this point yes they have 7 chances. Very good chances too this should be a very good series.

60-22, they aren't going to run themselves ragged to win as many games as possible as they did this year, but they'll still dominate.

Unfortunately, with the Royals, the problem runs much deeper than a couple of new ballplayers.\n\nI think that the Royals need a new ownership group, or at the very least, they need a serious infusion of capital in order to compete in the American League.  \n\nThey will never be able to compete with the likes of the Yankees or the Red Sox on a dollar-for-dollar level, but they can invest in their system, and improve their minor-league recruiting and scouting.  \n\nLook at how the Braves have built up their farm system and the quality of young players they've been able to bring up to the big leagues, and they've won how many division titles in a row?  The Dodgers in their heyday of the '70s and '80s were built through their farm system.  It's when they stopped believing in their system and started trying to buy players that they went downhill.

They should be a little more interesting to watch...Alex Gordon > 2005 college player of the year >2006 Minor League player of the year >2007 we'll see, but Gordon has a chance to be a star..\n\nBilly Butler is only 20, and, he can flat out hit, will he make the big club?\n\nIt would be nice to see Mike Sweeney actually play a full season, it is a contract year for Sweeney so he's going to have a little more incentive than usual to put up numbers...\n\nMark Teahen is one of the best young 3B in all of baseball, \n\nDavid Dejesus plays gold glove caliber defense,no that's not right actually he played better defense last year than any of the three(OF) gold glove winners in the AL.  I look for his offensive numbers to get slightly better next year...\n\nEstaban German is playing winter ball in hopes of improving his defense to the point he would no longer be a liability in the field...\n\nThe Royals need to do something about Catcher and Shortstop...John Buck and Angel Berroa have got to go...\n\nMark Grudzielanek will be solid again at second...\n\nEmil Brown improved his defense to the point last year that he's now a solid ML outfielder....\n\nAlmost no matter what the Royals do with their pitching staff next year it could not be any worse than 2006...I don't look for any huge improvement, but, I do look for the pitching to be a little better...\n\nI don't look for Luke Hochaver to start the season in KC but maybe by the All Star break they will give him a shot...\n\nJimmy Gobble has good stuff he just need to learn to keep the ball in the park...\n\nHudson - Hernandez - Redman, should at least burn up some innings\n\nThe bullpen should be improved.\n\nThe Royals are not going to go .500 next year, but they should win a few more games..Hopefully the young guys will make a big splash...

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.

They have a chance.  They are in a terrible division, and they are an ok team.  Their pitching is good and their ballpark helps them.

I don't think they will, but they're going to flirt with it.  No more than 75 wins this year.
743410
I think NO.  Even if they win out the best they'll be is 10-6.  I don't think 10-6 will get them into the playoffs as a wildcard.  So unless that 10-6 would win their division they won't be in the playoffs.  Plus what are the chances that they will win out the rest of their games?  Slim to none I think.

I am also afraid to ask. I'm suffering with you. I hope that they don't have to have that record. Royals please win! David Glass please sell the team to someone who cares!

There are no guaranteed number of games against other teams in MLB, but here is how it roughly breaks down:\n\n(a) 74 gm against own division\n(b) 70 gm COMBINED against other two divisions\n(c) 18 interleague games\n--------------------------\n    162 games in total

His control is getting worse for the last three years.  His WHIP has been increasing too.  He is still good, but no as good as before.  He is still capable to witn 15+ games, but not too many Ks should be expected.\n\nSafe bet, yes.  But it's hard for him to keep this sharp for the rest of the season.

Not yet.  The problem is that there really is nobody to put up good competition in the Central this year.  I thought it was going to be pretty tough this year with the Astros and the Cubs' lineups, then Cincinnati and Milwaukee started playing well too.  But the Cards are on a 7 game losing streak and are still in first place by 1.5 games.  They have a tough game tonight, but I think they'll pull this one out, then they have one more against the Indians, a day off, then 3 game sets against Kansas City and Atlanta before closing the first half with a 4 game series against the Astros.  They're still looking at 50+ wins in the first half, with 76 to go in the second half.
