Assuming the division leaders win their divisions, here's a look at what's left.

SD 66-57
Philly 65-58
Atlanta 66-59
LAD 64-60
Mil 64-61
Col 63-61
STL 59-62

If Philly can stay around till Mvp Utley is back, watchout!

I give Atlanta a slight edge since Mark T came over.

Philly bullpen just scares me, too many blown saves and they have no real answer...starting pitching isn't great either.

SD not enough punch in that lineup...they bore me to tears.

The NL playoffs should be interesting with no real obvious favorite...the Mets on paper should be the team to beat, I still can't figure out how they haven't ran away with it, and why they don't score more runs then they do...the NL has made up some ground on the AL with some very good young players, it's still the AL's WS to lose though IMO....when the AL loses a WS anymore it's almost always an upset, STL winning LY, ARI stunning NY, Fla stunning NY...

When's the last time the NL won a WS they should have? Been awhile.

Sadly, JMAN is right...the Phils bullpen sucks big time...same problem as the Yanks, alot of hitting and no relief, although the Yanks have turned it around a bit with Chamberlain....
 

I think I want my money back!

Braves or Pads


One of these two if not both are always in the post season with a quick exit to follow

Very accurate assesment on all fronts especially SD being the most boring team. That ballpark is a lot of it.

I also think Atlanta is a team that can win the WC though I am rooting against them. Waiting for them to go on a little run...

I think the Padres get into the postseason again. Solid pitching wins down the stretch, but the offense will doom them come October.

Phils just took another blow to the head...Hamels might be out for three weeks with a sore shoulder...he will miss at least one start but it doesn't look good...if that's the case, put a fork in my team AGAIN....
