Mike-
Looks like the Padres and Dodgers will both make the playoffs. Not a big deal who gets in via the division title or the wildcard, in my opinion. Both will be underdogs in their first rounds vs the Cards and Mets.
As of now the Dodgers are up 3.5 in the wildcard and only 1/2 behind in the division. None of those teams chasing the Dodgers/Padres for that wildcard are good enough to make up 3.5 games in 2 weeks. I think the Dodgers pull the "upset"n tonight and beat Peavy in their stadium to regain the division lead, for now.
Amercian League, I will concede is all set. The White Sox blew it in a big way and are done. Stick a fork in them. Looks like you guys get the Twins in the first round and I expect a Yankee sweep. I'll take the A's in the other matchup which sets up what for all intensive purposes should be the World Series....A's vs Yankees. That should go the distance.
