Not sure if you put any stock in this at all. I don't pretend to understand the formulas used, but I am perfectly willing to accept that these people understand a good deal more about baseball than I do.

AL Central 1) CLE 2) DET 3) CWS 4) MIN 5) KC

NL Central 1) CHC 2) MIL 3) CIN 4) HOU 5) STL 6) PIT

That looks pretty decent. The NL East, AL East, and NL central divisions should be particularly competitive. I don't think the Cardinals will do that poorly though.

They seem like reasonable predictions. Which is to say that it's a bunch of ass exhaust by people paid to blow things out their asses. If they were so smart they wouldn't have to work for a living.

They sit around all day and shoot shit about a game, I wouldn't say they're working much and I would say I'd trade places with them any damn day.

I would agree with that.
I'm not sure the D-Backs are as good as advertised either.

I agree with both of you. Our ass exhaust is just as good as theirs. I was also a little surprised to see the Rockies projected for 4th.

Yeah, I was surprised that the Indians were above Detroit as well. Doesn't matter because my White Sox are going to finish higher than the both of them.
