   I like Coley’s A’s pick in the AL West…very bold. Wild Card predictions?

   Hey, I picked the A’s too!

   Oh, and I’ve added my wildcard picks.

   I’ve got the braves as my Wild Card pick in the NL. They’ve got to make some noise with that lineup.

   And I’m liking a team from the central in the AL. It’ll come down to the wire, but the Tigs are my team in the WC.

   AL Wild Card: Yankees
   NL Wild Card: Phillies

   I noticed that the Braves are getting a lot of hype right about now. I think that’s all it is: hype.

   As for the Cubs, I think they will have an improbable collapse and entirely miss the playoffs. Sorry, Cubbies.

   Why is it that everyone else’s picks seem far more interesting than mine?

   Sarah, The Cubs could certainly collapse this season but considering their history I don’t think you should call it improbable. Collapses in Wrigleyville are never improbable, unfortunately. Whenever expectation are high for this franchise bad things seem to happen. Hopefully that trend will reverse itself this season. Barring serious injury to any key players they should win their division.
