Pre Season Predictions

My most recent and last set of predictions before Opening Day. First the easy part. Next seasons lottery teams will be.

1. North Texas Rangers
2. Carolina Yankees
3. Flying Squirrels of Springfield
4. Encinitas Beach Bums

The Championship playoffs will include the following teams....

1. New Jersey Mets
2. Mid Michigan Tigers
3. Dallas Redbirds
4. ES Blacksox
5. Julian Javelina
6. Rochester Red Sox

Numbers 1-4 are the division champs and 5/6 are the wild cards.

Strongest division is easily the Texan division. This division contains 4 of the top 9 teams in my power rankings but will only contain 1 playoff team.

Weakest division is the Great Lakes division. Other than the playoff team (Mid Michigan) this division contains 3 of the weakest 7 teams including a lottery team.
