Home field advantage has been decided as the American League defeated the National League. Meaning the season is half over. Here are my predictions for the playoffs.
American League
East - Boston Red Sox - Good starting rotation and alot of pop with the bats. If the Red Sox can get some help in middle relief they will surely be contending in October.
Central - Detroit Tigers - Very talented team with an excellent coach. If the starting rotation can settle down they will be tough to beat. Currently 7 games out of first and Magglio Ordonez is coming off the DL soon.
West - The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim - They will absolutely run away with the division in the second half.
Wild Card - Minnesota Twins - Solid pitching and defense have helped this team be what it is. Two great young stars in the middle of the line up and a star closer in Joe Nathan. Solid starting pitching has been a pleasent suprise.
National League
East - New York Mets - A hot team coming into the break. They have it all and it seems to be coming together. If starter John Maine can have a better second half they will be tough to beat.
Central - Chicago Cubs - Best record in baseball currently. Getting Rich Harden in a trade with Oakland could prove to the move that's sends them to the world series if he stays healthy. Great pitching and hitting.
West - Arizona Diamondbacks - A young team with two top starters. If the Young bats can come alive they definitely have a shot at the world series. Very athletic outfield.
Wild Card - Philadelphia Phillies - Rollins, Utley and Howard is the top 1, 3, 4 in the league. Good relief pitching. If the starters can come up big, They will give the Mets a run for the east.
WORLD SERIES
BOSTON RED SOX def. CHICAGO CUBS
