NL East

1. Miami Marlins 84-76 (I love their Outfield, but did they really need to sign Ichiro Suzuki?)

2. New York Mets 84-76 (The Mets are one year away, but if Matt Harvey and Zack Wheeler stay healthy, they could steal the division)

3. Washington Nationals 82-80 (They have the best talent in the division (Bryce Harper, Stephen Strasburg, Jordan Zimmerman. Max Scherzer and Ryan Zimmerman), but they overpaid for Scherzer, and need to do something about Jayson Werth's bad contract)

4. Atlanta Braves 77-85 (Their offseason, especially trading Jason Heyward was a net negative, though adding Shelby Miller will help down the line)

5. Philadelphia Phillies 66-96 (The fire sale will continue unabated. Expect Cole Hamels, Cliff Lee, and Jonathan Papelbon to be traded, and for rumors to swirl around Ryan Howard, Chase Utley and Carlos Ruiz)

NL Central

St. Louis Cardinals 89-73 (They'll miss Shelby Miller, but adding John Lackey is a more than adequate replacement, and their rotation remains one of the best in the NL. They also have one of the better lineups in the NL as well, so they remain a threat to go deep in October.

Chicago Cubs 85-77 (Jon Lester was an inspired signing, but for Joe Maddon to break the curse of the Billy Goat, he'll need his best managerial job yet)

Cincinnati Reds 83-79 (Standing pat simply isn't enough in this division)

Pittsburgh Pirates 80-82 (They've lost too much to be competitive, hopefully it won't be another 20 years before we see them with a winning record again)

Milwaukee Brewers 71-91 (They're going to fatten everyone in this division up)

NL West

Los Angeles Dodgers 94-68 (A top-flight pitching staff, a solid lineup, and they've finally decided who is going to play where in the outfield, I'm not sure what the Dodgers can't accomplish)

San Francisco Giants 88-74 (While the Giants should still be a playoff team, losing Pablo Sandoval is the end of the dynasty...for now)

San Diego Padres 83-79 (The Padres have a good Outfield and good Pitching, but it's going to be difficult to move up in the division)

Colorado Rockies 77-85 (While Coors field works in their advantage, they have no pitching, at Coors or away from it)

Arizona Diamondbacks 74-88 (While adding Jeremy Hellickson is good, most of their moves this offseason have been steps backwards)

AL East

Toronto Blue Jays 90-72 (Adding Josh Donaldson and Russell Martin are huge moves, and overall their offseason has been a net positive)

Boston Red Sox 86-76 (They overpaid for Pablo Sandoval, but as it stands they will be in contention once more)

Baltimore Orioles 82-80 (People looking to count out the defending Division Champions are badly underestimating Buck Showalter)

New York Yankees 81-81 (The Yankees improvements were all positive, and they will be contenders again soon... just not this year)

Tampa Bay Rays 78-84 (Welcome back to the cellar, it's grown cold without you)

AL Central

Detroit Tigers 104-58 (In the AL Central there's the Tigers, and then there's everybody else)

Kansas City Royals 90-72 (Last seasons pennant winners aren't going anywhere without a fight)

Chicago White Sox 80-82 (They need to make up their minds on what their future plan is)

Cleveland Indians 75-87 (Terry Francona is a very good manager, he just has nothing to work with (except midges))

Minnesota Twins 67-95 (It's been a long time since the Twins were relevant)

AL West

Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim 93-69 (They battle with the Tigers for best bats in the AL)

Oakland A's 93-63 (They battle with the Tigers for best Pitching in the AL)

Seattle Mariners 83-79 (Like the Mets, the Mariners are roughly a year away, but they're in a tougher division)

Texas Rangers 73-89 (Outside of Yu Darvish, they've got nothing)

Houston Astros 65-97 (Jose Altuve might be the best player you've never heard of, but beyond him, the stros' are as lost as grass in the Astrodome)
