I feel like I'll probably be rooting for San Diego (which is German for...) but I think Colorado will ride their late season surge and home field setting to move on.
We'll see...
(Hey, I did correctly predict Philly would win their division).
Note: These predictions are provided solely for my entertainment. If you use them for anything else, you're crazy.
The teams:
Arizona Diamondbacks
Colorado Rockies
Los Angeles Dodgers
San Diego Padres
San Francisco Giants
The outlook: This division was horrible last year. For awhile the Padres were hovering at .500 and in the lead. Lame.
As for this year, look for the reconfigured Dodgers to make strides and separate themselves from the competition. The Dodgers are -- as a reader pointed out -- filled with old Cubs, and we all know that as soon as the Cubs get rid of somebody that player takes off. (Which gets me thinking, Mark Prior make a great Devil Ray).
Spaulding prognostication:
NL West champion -- Los Angeles Dodgers
P.S. Arizona, the Astros just called and they want their color scheme back.
