Baseball Prospectus projected standings:

AL West
Oakland 91-71
Los Angeles/Anaheim 86-76
Texas 82-80
Seattle 80-82

Whoever wins this division will have earned it. I think the Angels are the favorite, but that's based more on loyalty to the team and brainwashing by the media than it is on hard evidence.

If you didn't take the 13:1 odds on the A's winning the division, you missed your chance. It's now down to a much more reasonable 6.5:1 on the website I mentioned last week.

AL Central
Minnesota 86-76
Cleveland 86-76
Chicago 81-81
Detroit 76-86
Kansas City 71-91

The Twins are the favorites, but if catastrophe strikes Johan Santana, Joe Mauer, and/or Justin Morneau, the Indians should be ready to take the division.

AL East
Boston 100-62
New York 97-65
Baltimore 82-80
Toronto 75-87
Tampa Bay 71-91

The 4:1 odds on the Red Sox winning the division are still available. And when 3/5ths of the Yankee rotation gets injured, you'll be wishing you had placed a bet.

NL West
San Francisco 86-76
San Diego 80-82
Los Angeles 78-84
Colorado 72-90
Arizona 71-91

Paul DePodesta still has some learning to do if his team can't beat a bunch of 38 year-olds.

NL Central
St Louis 90-72
Chicago 89-73
Houston 78-84
Cincinnati 75-87
Milwaukee 73-89
Pittsburgh 70-92

The Cubs will win the division if their star pitchers stay healthy. Too bad that won't happen.

NL East
Philadelphia 87-75
Atlanta 80-82
New York 80-82
Florida 80-82
Washington 73-89

Baseball Prospectus projected the 2004 Phillies to win the NL East by 14 games. So what they're really saying is that we should expect a total dogfight for this division, with the Braves being the favorite because they have Leo Mazzone.
