Baseball 2006

[Gander]

Halfway over. The way I see it we have 5 possible teams that could win the World Series:

White Sox
Red Sox
Mets
Astros
Cardinals

I will stand by my beginning of the year prediction of the Astros winning it all as I think they have by far the most upside of any team in the majors and their team is built for a 5-7 game postseason series. I left the Cardinals on here as well for the same reason, except their pitching isnt nearly as good as Houstons. I see the Cardinals and Astros becoming the 2 hottest teams in the Majors over the 2nd half, landing both of them in the postseason.

The division races look very tight this year with the exception of the NL East which clearly will be a runaway. Both the AL and NL West divisions will come down to the final weekend.

I see the Detroit Tigers fading and having to fight it out with the Yankees for the AL wildcard, which I sincerely hope Detroit gets.
