I think the Cubs have a pretty good shot at winning their pennant.
In the East the Mets will have an even easier year than last.
The Dodgers are kinda iffy, but still, you'd have to like them over the other teams in the division.
Watch for Clevland this year to have its nose in front in the American central, despite Detroit, Minnesota and the white sox looking so strong. The east is always interesting, Yankees, boston and Toronto will be tighter this year than last, with Toronto this year putting in a serious challenge.
I'm an Angels fan, and I have to say that the team is world series material.
Personally, i will go to at least 20 games this year, mostly early in the season.

I intend to hit some games in Scranton /Wilkes-Barre. They are the new Yankee AAA club. There will be very good pitching there early this year. When the oldsters start breaking down, the Yanks will be bringing folks up. One way or another the Yanks need to get younger. It may take a bunch of broken down pitchers...

If the whole year were spring training I'd say the Reds have a good chance!

I still think the Chicago Cubs will win their division.
The Brewers, although off to a good start are not half the team that the cubs are this year, you can't forget last year they started the year without lee and ramirez due to injury, this year they're fine.
The addition of Soriano is huge, add to that the great pitching staff they've got, you have to see them as contenders in the NL alongside the Mets.

Sure the line-ups of the braves and the phillies are good,
but they cannot compare to that of the New York Mets.
Reyes is off to a record breaking start in stolen bases and is easily the greatest in baseball. Just wait for Beltran, Wright and Delgado to start swinging the bat and the Mets will run away with it.

Obviously the Los Angelos Dodgers are the best team in their division.
Their pitching and line-up are just a class above the rest.
Arizona looks like the #2 contender. The Padres line-up is amongst the worst in all baseball for them to even contemplate competing for it. they may even be surpased by the Giants who suprisingly are not as bad as last year. Colorado on the other hand probably remove KC from the pit of the MLB.

The Clevland Indians are proving me right as they we're ranked 4th in their division and yet seem to be the easy favorites to win their pennant.
The line-up is on fire and does not look like cooling off anytime soon.
Verlander and the tigers will have another year in the spotlight
and will fight with the white-sox for 2nd place.
Poor Minnesota without Liriano and now with Mauer on the DL look pretty bad. Next year maybe.

It looked like a tight one between Boston Toronto and the Yankees, but sometimes things change during the year. Toronto lost their Closer Ryan, and now have Halladay on the DL, looks like they'll be out of this race. Boston looked like the clear favorite until the Yankees picked up Clemens. Mussina, Pettite and Roger are not bad at all when you've got the line-up that New York's got.
IMO, it won't matter who wins it, they'll both make it past the regualr season 1st and 2nd. So who cares?

My Los Angelos Angels suprisingly are only 2 games up on Seattle so far.
I thought they would have run away with it.
Ichiro is starting to pick it up , and the Mariners pitching staff is actually looking decent, not to mention their closer Putz who has picked up exatly where he left off last year(elite RP).
Oakland's bats are just getting worse, and now with Street on the DL, Oakland cannot close out their 1 run leads anymore. Watchout, texas may steal third with their amazing line-up.

The world series?
New York Mets or Chicago Cubs
............................VS...........................
Los Angelos Angels or Clevland Indians
