Orioles above the Red Sox? Yankees over the Dodgers for the Series...quite interesting predictions. I have not formalized mine yet...

The Red Sox lost Pedro and Derek Lowe, that's about 30 wins. They didn't replace them with anyone of that caliber. They lost their shortstop Cabrera and I think some of their top players won't have a career year like Ortiz who's been playing over his head for 2 years now. I think they will be minus about 10-15 wins from last year. The Orioles made some good moves this winter and I think will have enough wins to leap over the Sox.

In the Nl, the Dodgers are the team to beat, hands down!
