Not if you're a Yankee.I'll take the AL EAST race for 200 Alex.

Yankees are 7.5 games back. I'm sure they'll make a decent run, maybe catch them but every year its the same old #### in the AL East. Usually in the NL Central, St. Louis has it wrapped up by mid-May. It's nice to see Milwaukee and Chicago challenging for the top spot.

They are too passive. Omar Vizquel will tell you that guy. BLACK POWER!

I have no use for the National League.

I'm not a big fan of it but it's nice to see new teams in the playoff race instead of the same old same old.

Ok, I will give you this point.

AL Central & NL Central.... this is where your WS champ is coming from....

Those five game series are always toss ups. Anybody can get hot and ride a wave of momentum into the WS. Look at Chicago in 05.

Ohhhhh yeah I was looking at that with great happiness! Too bad we went from being the team to being in the outhouse!

Chicago is probably going go to dump some players by the looks of things. Rumors have Konerko going to LAA and Dye going to several places.

Lets hope and pray that doesn't happen.

Brew Crew will play well in STL- 3 of 4 or worse case scenario a split. The Cards should be owned by the younger more powerful team.
The Sox will move Dye but they would have to have rocks in their heads to move PK but then again Kenny Williams is the GM....

I'm not really rooting against the Cubs, but their fans here in Peoria are very obnoxious and come out of the woodwork whenever the team gets to .500. As a Cardinals fan, I would rather see the Brewers take the Central. Every Cub fan already thinks the Cubs will win it. They don't realize how good the Brewers are this season. Their only drawback is that they are young.

The skeptical Brewer fan in me see's the yearly August collapse coming. They just aren't scoring runs like they were early in the year. Hopefully the bats wake up and the pitching comes back around.

but that race is already over. Only a sad team would finish the season behind the Jays.Finless said:

Brewers score 4.8 a game and give up 4.4Cubs score 4.6 a game and give up 4.2That's pretty darn close.As for the NL West, Arizona still has a legitimate chance at finishing LAST in that division. In fact, I'd call that a more likely outcome than them winning the division.The only interesting race in the AL is the WC between the Yankees and the Indians.Red Sox, Tigers, and Angels are locks.

i keep expecting the brewers to implode.
i hope not, but I expect it.
I am sick of hearing about how it will be because of not enough experience.
i just dont think they are as good as their record. They have some bad players in the everyday lineup.

They don't score as many runs as they give up. In fact, they have the worst run differential in their division. Really hard to keep winning when on average you're losing.

The bats are coming around. If they are where they are now with out scoring runs then they should run away with the division now that they are hitting.

Babybacks are solid. I know we rely on statistical analysis to define teams but sometimes teams like this year's Indians and the D-Backs are outside the curve. I called the Dodgers at the beginning of the season and I'll stick with that prediction (Actually predicted they win it all) but I would be very wary on counting the D-back out. The NL West is a great division that I unfortunately rarely get to see.

Indians are playing like a playoff team by all statistical measures. There is no way the D-Backs make the playoffs.In the past 10 years, there have been exactly 3 team that have outplayed their Pythagorean win record at season's end by more than 10 games.Doctor Detroit said:
1997 SFG were +11
2004 NYY were +13
2005 ARI were +11
That's 3 teams out of 300, or 1%.
So in other words, if you have a negative run differential, it's extremely unlikely that you'll win more than 91 games. While that's slightly more than it might take to win the NL WC this year,t he point stands that until they start scoring more runs than they give up, the playoff outlook for the D-Backs is weak.
While baseballprospectus has the Yankees at around 2-1 against making the playoffs, it's 5-1 for the D-Backs. They have the D-Backs less likely than the Cubs, Padres, Braves, and Phillies.
