Baseball's division races are the closest they have been since the leagues split into three divisions apiece 13 years ago. My question is: Who among the second place teams (Seattle, Cleveland, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, San Diego) or even third place teams still with a good shot (Atlanta, Colorado, St. Louis,) is going to come back to win their division? Right now, Cleveland is the closest to their first place team...but I would say that having to pick one, I'm going with the team that has recently seen first place, the Chicago Cubs; despite their recent slump, the Milwaukee Brewers simply do not have the huevos to hold their slim lead in the NL Central, and may well finish third to the surging St. Louis Cardinals.
