Okay, it is officially here. The day I wait all winter for, Opening Day for the MLB. We got a brief taste last week as the Red Sox and Athletics played in Japan, but now the rest of the league is up and running. On a side note I think it was unfair to designate Oakland as the home team at the Tokyo Dome when everyone knew the crowd would be cheering for Boston.
So today is the day I traditionally make predictions about who is going to make it to the post season. My own team is a given (no point in cheering if you don’t) and the AL East is pretty easy to figure out. It is the National League that is giving me some trouble. Will the Braves live up to their potential? Can the Rockies sustain their late 2007 greatness?
So what are my picks?
AL East - Red Sox
AL Central - Tigers
AL West - Angels
NL East - Braves
NL Central - Cubs
NL West - Rockies
There are a handful of teams in each league that have the potential to be the wild card. I’m predicting the Yankees in the AL and the Padres in the NL. My heart wants an Angels/Rockies World Series, but thinks it’s more likely to be Red Sox/Braves.
Will any of my picks be right? Only 162 games to go before we find out!

I guess they would be among the handful that could be the potential wild card?
