Predictions for 2009 Season

Predictions for when season is over:

American League:
West: New York Yankees, 91+ wins, Have about 7 all-stars on there team right now and should win division but will be a close race to the end.
Central: Cleveland Indians, 87+ wins, Upgraded in bullpen with Wood and got a good utility guy in Derosa.
East: Los Angeles Angels, 93+ wins, Good pitching and have a OK offense, should win division because Texas and Oakland don't have a pitching staffs.
Wild Card: Detroit Tigers, 86+ wins, Good offense and I see a pitching staff to rebound after last season.

National League:
West: New York Mets, 90+ wins, A really good offense and have a good starting rotation. The one fix they had to do this off season was to fix the bullpen and they did that in acquiring J.J Putz and K- Rod.
Central: Chicago Cubs, 92+ wins, Made there lineup more balanced and there division barely upgraded.
East: Los Angeles Dodgers, 85+, Only if they re-sign Manny Ramirez which looks pretty promising right now.
Wild Card: Philadelphia Phillies, 88+ wins, Good pitching and offense, that should be a able to compete with the New York Mets.

Playoffs:
New York yankees over Detroit Tigers in 4 games.
Los Angeles Angels over Cleveland Indians in 4 games.
New York Mets over Los Angeles Dodgers in 5 games.
Chicago Cubs over Philadelphia Phillies in 5 games.

Los Angeles Angels over New York Yankees in 5 games.
Chicago Cubs over New York Mets in 6 games.

Chicago Cubs over Los Angeles Angels in 6 games. WS MVP Aramis Ramirez

Awards:
AL MVP Mark Texieria, NL MVP Manny Ramirez (If signs with Dodgers).
AL CY Roy Halladay, NL CY Johan Santana.
AL ROY David Price, NL ROY Cameron Maybin.
AL MOY Joe Girardi, NL MOY Jerry Manuel.
AL EOY Mark Shapiro, NL EOY Omar Minaya.

ALL Star Game: NL beats AL, 12-9. All stars MVP David Wright
