    Interesting ESPN Poll
    ESPN released their "expert" predictions for the MLB season and 42/45 have the Red Sox in the World Series. Of these 42 experts, all but a handful have the BoSox winning it all. Being a Red Sox fan, I don't know if this is a good thing or a curse. The "experts" never seen to pick the winner at the beginning of the season.

    I knew the Sox would be good...but I didn't think that many media members would have them in the World Series. Even crazier is that only 1 or 2 had the Yankees in the World Series, none of them have NYY winning it.

    Pitching will be their downfall. Have Yankees +200 to win the East. Boston was like -200 last I looked.

        AL is down for sure. I picked boston too, but it will be there pitching that decides it.

          As long as the staff can stay healthy...they're going to win 95-100 games. But you're right...it'll come down to pitching and hopefully no one decides to have a shitty year. Dice-K looked great this spring and should be an upgrade to the #5 spot from last season. If Buchholz and Lester have another good season and Beckett bounces back some, they'll be very dangerous.

          Yankees have no pitching. Nova is the #4 I believe, that's just not good.

                your sox are fukked now, whenever its that unanimous like that the team never wins.

                its going to be a darkhorse, like last year. for some reason i have an inkling that oakland can make a deep playoff run. wouldn't put any money on it though.

                  These are the same experts who had the Giants winning it last year, right?

                          I think the darkhorse out of the NL could be Colorado. I'd like to see them make a nice run through the playoffs. Everyone seens to have Philly or Atlanta winning the NL

                            Love Colorado; a little worried about depth on the starting rotation but the offensive has two legit MVP candidates.
