Here are my predictions for the 2008 Major League Baseball pennant races.

First the American League:

East
Boston Red Sox

Central
Detroit Tigers

West
Los Angeles Angels

Wild Card
New York Yankees

The East winners and the Wild Card could flip flop but for now I believe Boston will win the East. I think Detroit has the offense and just enough pitching to get to the World Series.

National League:

East
New York Mets

Central
Chicago Cubs

West
Arizona Diamondbacks

Wild Card
Cincinnati Reds

Yes, I think the young guns the Reds have will play well enough to get them to the playoffs. The Diamondbacks made just enough moves to keep them ahead of the Mets. Arizona will win the National League pennant and go to the World Series.
