The 'experts' at ESPN.com make their picks. (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?page=05expertpicks)

Interesting:
Jim Capel has the Indians beating out the Yankees for the wild card.
Gammons has Nomar as his NL MVP.
Surprised to see THAT much love for the Twins......

Figures that Professional Angel basher Rob Neyer is one of the few that didn't pick the Angels to win the West. Instead he picks the A's :lol:

i think the mets deserve more credit, they have played pretty well in the pre season.

[Dr_Evil]

I'm going to go out on a very thin limb and say the Pirates will have a winning record for the first time in 12 seasons.

[namrfumot]

ALCS - Yanks vs Red Sox
NLCS - Braves vs Cubs

[LorenzoL]

I'm going out on a limb and say that the Toronto Blue Jays will have a winning record this year.

[the big train]

Figures that Professional Angel basher Rob Neyer is one of the few that didn't pick the Angels to win the West. Instead he picks the A's :lol:
What else would you expect from a stathead? He probably has a Billy Beane shrine in his house.
