Who cares about the divisions. In the end the Yankees will beat the Phillies in the world series.

Now my prediction may look a little wild so allow me to explain.
In the AL the AL central is SO ridiculously weak that it should be smooth flying for the Tigers. And in the East with the BO Sox, Yanks and Jays being power houses the wild card will come out of there. I think the Wild Card will be the Blue Jays not as a bias opinion but lets review the Red Sox. Their starting rotation will most likely be
Schilling
Dice K
Clement
Beckette
Papplebon
Schilling is solid but it's the rest of the rotation ya have to worry about. Dice K has NEVER played in America and will most likely have trouble adjusting Especially playing in a hitters park. Clement is good. Beckette just came off an 11 loss season and tends to struggle against the Jays and Yanks. and Papplebon. he strugled as a closer and now he wants to be a STARTER?! ridiculous.
I selected the Play off matchups because the Yanks will most likely have the best record and since in the divisional series you can't verse a team in your division (personally I think the dumbest rule ever) they will have to verse the team with the lowest record which going off the history is usually in the West. Now you may be wondering why i am picking the Mariners to win. Well it was hard to choose between the Angels and Mariners but as a team I think the Mariners are more solid as a team. I mean no offense by saying this because this is just my honest opinion.
But the Mariners won't be able to beat the power house Yanks.
The Tigers proved that their pitching does have some problems in the post season. And versing the Jays line up of HR hitters consisting of Rios, Glaus, Thomas, Overbay, Wells, and then Matt Stairs off the bench. They should have no Problem beating the Tigers.
And now to the Conference Championship series. The Jays power hitting and pitcheing should be able to douse the Yanks easily
And now to the my NL prediction
The Cubs will only make it in because the NL central will suck so badly. In the East the Mets should have a repeat regular season and the Braves will bounce back this year and take the Wild Card and the Padres are looking real good with the off season moves they made.
Now in the Divisional series the Mets will verse the Cubs because like I said earlier you can't play your division in the divisional series. The Mets should have no problem sweeping the Cubies. And I live in Chicago. and the Pares shouldn't have any trouble beating the Braves.
In the legue championship series the Mets will Pound the Padres do to the better pitching and hitting.
And finally in the World Series The Power House Blue Jays will go home run derby off the Mets. And claim the title as World Champs

East - Yankees(Offense is 2nd to None)........Braves(Strong bullpen means less blown saves)
Central - Tigers(Sox Declining and Twins will have to rely to much on Santana)........Cardinals(Cubs offense got better but rotation is still nothing special)
The Always tough to predict AL and NL West
Rangers(Strengthened their bullpen and will still have a dominating offense, also Angels and A's are declining in talent).........Dodgers(D'backs may have a stronger rotation but their offense doesn't look like one that will win you many games)
Wild Card
Red Sox(all that money they spend better atleast get them in the playoffs)
Phillies(Mets may have the best offense in the national league still but, Phillies pitching staff in much superior to the Mets'. Also with Rollins leading off and Utley and Howard hitting in the middle in that little ball park, thats more then enough offense to atleast keep up with hte mets.)
