It will surprise no one that I'm picking the Cardinals to be better than that. Might as well go whole hog: Dodgers, Cardinals, Mets; Angels, Indians, Red Sox.
Albert Pujols and Grady Sizemore as Most Valuable Players. Pansy the Wuss-Wuss Fish as Most Valuable Mascot.

With the shoring up of the rotation in the off season, give the Cardinals a little better edge in THE division.
