Comments:
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.
