| Ah! but you forgot about my Braves.. They are somehow still in this race after a pathetic season thus far and aren't actually playing that bad right now. Andruw Jones is starting to heat up again after a little slump and the rest of team is starting to hit again as well. Then there's Smoltz who has been pitching decent, I dunno.. I'm probably just giving them a chance because it's my team but really, who is good in that pile anyway?
I think the Cards will hold on and the Mets and Dodgers will win their divisions, so that completes the NL.
Then on the AL side, I think 3 slots are already locked down. Oakland and the Yanks have leads that shouldn't be thrown away and I just think the Tigers have played too well this season to completely lose the lead. They are still 5 games up and aren't playing that bad, so I'm looking for them to hold on even though I believe the White Sox and Twins are both better now and would beat the Tigers head-to-head if they played in a series.
I'll take the White Sox to take the wild card because I think they are just a little more of a complete team then the Twins, with more talent even though the Twinkies have the big pitching at the top. Shame the Twins won't make it because if they did I might even pick them to win a round or two in the playoffs. |
