All divisonal races are within 5 games. I would have to say St. Louis overtake Cincinnati but Padres also have it tough with 3 other teams gunning after them.

BetATL

I think St. Louis wins the Central.

I think someone besides the Dads wins the NL West

I think all the other division leaders have a good shot of keeping their division leads.

Piddy

white sox are not winning the central

kass101

Ya I like the Tigers to win the Central

HowardBeal

I think all 3 NL teams lose their divisions, but the surest bet is the Atlanta Braves, who have overachieved thanks to an easy 1st half schedule and some poor play by the rest of their division.....they will be lucky to finish in the Top 2 of the East.....

I think San Diego and the White Sox will fade in the second half. I like Colorado and Minnesota to win those divisions.

Old-Timer

AL EAST
YANKEES

AL CENTRAL
CHICAGO W/S
(Wouldn't be surprised if Detroit took it but no Minn this year)

AL WEST
TEXAS
(It won't be easy but they should get it done)

N L EAST
PHILLY
(Mets Fade and Atl will also fade late)

NL CENTRAL
ST. LOUIS CARDS (By Default)
(Reds Fade Big, anyone that has Dusty Baker as a Manager will never get there.)

NL WEST
DODGERS
Nice team S.Diego but the pitching staff is way young and there arms will fall off come Sept.
There talking about more rest between starts for there young pitching staff.
