Ken Rosenthal recently went out on a limb and said he likes my hometown Atlanta Braves to win it all this season. My reaction to his comment: bleh. The Braves have some power in their lineup, to be sure, but also have two aging starting pitchers(Tom Glavine and John Smoltz), and one pitcher who has been on the disabled list for what seems like forever(Mike Hampton). If the Braves starting pitchers can, as a whole, get quality innings out of everyone in the rotation then I could see the Atlanta Braves making the post season as a wild card, even possibly winning the NL East, in which the Philadelphia Phillies and NY Mets are widely considered the other teams that might win the NL East.

I cannot comment too much on the American League-I understand Boston should be good again, the NY Yankees will be lurking, as always, and that the Detroit Tigers and Los Angeles Angels(Anaheim) should be good offensively and might be, if their pitching holds up, the best of the AL.
