It's obviously too early, still...
I see Oakland making a race for the AL pennant, and the White Sox trying to stop that in a great 7 game Championship Series.
I see the Mets and the Cards in the NL Championship Series.
Oakland over Mets in 6.

Wrong question.
Baseball is still a team sport.
What do they have, rather?
Good rotation, good bullpen, consistent line-up, reasonable bench.
They may repeat, once again, their second place division finish, but I think their time has come.
On the AL East, I see a 3 team rush to the pennant, including Toronto. I do believe Boston will be third place, but I would not bet on that.
That was January. Ahem.
But I will change slightly my predictions, having seen the Red Birds on a slope.
Yankees over Tigers in 4
A's over Twins in 5 (the toughest match-up, winner will take all)
Padres over Cards in 4 (the only true change)
Mets over Dodgers in 5
A's over Yankees in 7
Mets over Padres in 7
A's over Mets in 6
