All right - Here comes the AllStar Break. With the approanch of the MidSummer Classic, I'd like to take the "who will win the world series" thread, by jmf1234, a step further: Namely, who will win their divisions? Who will earn the wildcard? There are some GREAT races this year.

My picks: Atlanta Braves (unfortunately), St. Louis Cards, Arizona D'Backs win their divisions. Wildcard to San Francisco Giants.
New York Yankees, Minnesota Twins, Seattle Mariners win division. Oakland beats Boston in one game playoff for wildcard.

I'd like to pick the Dodgers (no hitting) or the Red Sox (no deep rotation) - but I think these teams have some work to do before the trading deadline to become contenders.

The AL Central is very interesting to me. I can't believe KC can get it done - the Twins are getting roughed up by bad teams, and Chicago still has suspect pitching outside of Colon. Who will be the best of the worse?

The NL Central is gonna go to the wire. I think St. Louis will be healthy and ready by the first of August. But the Cubs and Astros won't go away - and Cinci and Pittsburgh still have an opportunity here.

Your turn.
