Ok, with about a week to go, let's hear the predictions. I have no opinion on the national league, but with regard to the american league...

A.L. East: The Yankees will win the east. The Yankees are playing very strong right now, and they have four games coming up against Baltimore (which is playing like the season has ended). The Red Sox have to play four games against Toronto which they have had trouble with (plus unlike Baltimore, Toronto is playing like they want to win). The Yankees should get the Boston series with a long streak of wins and Boston will have lost one or two games against Toronto. The Yankees will take two of three games against the Red Sox (since the Yankees will view the series as an opportunity to knock the Red Sox out of the wild card race).

A.L. Central: The White Sox will hold on...barely.

A.L. West: The Angels will hold on.

Wild Card: Cleveland will edge Boston by 1.5 games to win the Wild Card.

With the best record in the league, the Yankees will play the Indians and beat them in the first round. The White Sox will defeat the Angels. In the Championship series, the Yankees will defeat the White Sox.

And the fact that I live in NYC has not colored my opinion at all. LOL
