Dodgers are number 1, but Manny is about to be out for about 50 games. Nice to see the Blue-Jays having success this year. When was the last time they were good? And the two cross town rivals the Royals and Cards are both in the top 5. No surprise to see the Cards there, but the Royals are on a 6 game win streak and could be this years Tampa Bay Devil Rays 8)

The Dodgers still shouldn't have much problem in that division. Even if they play .500 ball in those 50 games I still think they'll be up at the top or close to it.
The Jays were good last year, they were just in by far the toughest division in baseball. They finished 86-76 last year with a pythagorean win/loss record of 93-69, could be the best 4th place team ever. Too bad they couldn't have the hitting success they are experiencing right now last year.
I'm still not sure the Cards can hold off the Cubs all year long, I still think the Cubs will take it. As for the Royals? Sure they have a shot, the central division isn't looking too scary, wide open if you ask me.
