2011 baseball predictions

Now that spring is here, it's time for Bill's annual baseball predictions! As usual, my forecasts are not based on any scientific analysis, but rather on gut feelings and wild guesses, Therefore, you should not rely on them for wagering purposes. So here we go, with a list of the teams in each division in my projected order of finish: A.L. East Yankees, Red Sox (WC), Rays, Orioles, Blue Jays A.L. Central White Sox, Twins, Tigers, Royals, Indians A.L. West Angels, Rangers, Athletics, Mariners N.L. East Phillies, Braves, Nationals, Marlins, Mets N.L.
