In the American League East, the Warrior has the Orioles winning the division, followed by the Yankees, Red Sox, Blue Jays and the Rays. The Orioles will be able to win the division thanks to their young core and the Yankee’s devastating injuries. The Red Sox will be just behind the Yankees, possibly fighting for a Wild Card spot.
Next is the American League Central. The Guardians will be able to win this division with their lockdown bullpen. Right behind them will be the Tigers, Royals and Twins. The Tigers will have another good season with their standout pitcher Tarik Skubal. The Royals will be in the mix with their young core and the Twins will be behind them.
The final division in the American League is the West division. In first place, it will be the Astros for the fifth year in a row. The Rangers will be in second place and a potential wild card appearance. The Mariners and the Angels will be in a close race for third place, with the Mariners edging them out by the skin of their teeth.
Next is the National League East division. For the second year in a row, the Phillies will win the division by slightly beating the Mets and Braves. The Nationals may also be able to put together a decent season with young stars C.J. Abrams and James Wood. The Marlins may be competing for the first overall pick in the draft because they are rebuilding right now.
Next is the Central division. For the first time since the shortened 2020 season, the Cubs will win the division, with their new star-addition Kyle Tucker. They also have a solid rotation. In second place it will be the Brewers, who could make a wild card appearance. The Pirates could make a push for the playoffs this year, with their good pitching carrying the lackluster offense and lineup. The Reds will be right with the Pirates fighting for third place and last place is the Cardinals.
The final division is the West division. In first place, it is the Dodgers. Second place is the Padres. Third place is the Diamondbacks. Fourth is the Giants. Lastly is the Rockies. This season is heating up to be one of the best of all time.
