Deadspin
Well, this is kind of cheating, considering the Oakland A's already played this morning, and lost, but we hope that having 1/162 of the season over already won't make you distrust our predictions any more than you already do.
So, here goes:
1. Los Angeles Angels Of Anaheim: We actually never like picking these guys, and not just because of their name. But they still seem to be the class of this division over here.
2. Oakland Athletics. We will always, always pick these guys one spot higher than they actually should be. Damn you, Michael Lewis!
3. Seattle Mariners: Put us in the camp that believes last year was an overperformance, rather than the start of something exciting, Bedard or no.
4. Texas Rangers: Hopefully they'll be able to overcome the loss of Sammy Sosa. We're not sure we have, not yet.
We would love to hear justifications as to how a team other than the Angels win this division. Tomorrow, the National League Central.

Brad Wilkerson is the Mariners new Richie Sexson....and Richie Sexson is still their Richie Sexson
But Jack Cust is on pace to strike out 648 times this year.
@Matt_T: Thats still short of his career high.
If Ichiro can hit .350 using nothing but a dowel rod, I'm convinced Seattle has a puncher's chance.
The only way the Angels don't win this division is if Jack Bauer becomes involved with stadium security.
@Matt_T: Can you imagine him, Preston Wilson and Richie Sexson on the same team?
@Matt_T:
With the help of Emil Brown the A's are on pace to lose 162 games this year.
1. Not Los Angeles
2. Not Tokyo
3. Not San Francisco
4. Not Dallas
Anytime Oakland comes up, I feel compelled to post this:
+ Watch video
Milton Bradley is gonna kick someone's ass for saying Texas will come in last
@Matt_T: romp in peace!
@Matt_T: that bus has better rhythm than I do. And I'm only 88% caucasian.
@Matt_T: What, no love for Bubb Rubb? Whoo whooooooo!!!

4. Too Short
I dispute your rankings, Will, because if you know anything about the Mariners, they are in prime position to come OH SO CLOSE to getting into the playoffs, but fall juuuuust short at the last possible moment. The reason for this is because Howard Lincoln and Bill Bavasi know, they absolutely know, that the fans will be MUCH more disappointed in that rather than falling far behind the Angels. The mother-fucking icing on the cake is that we'll play JUST FUCKING GOOD ENOUGH to convince the front office to keep Bavasi around and keep making the same costly and RETARDED moves. That way, we will win 80+ games every year, but be GUARAN-FUCKING-TEED to never, EVER win the World Series.
Damn it feels great to be an M's fan. Play ball!!!!
@Matt_T:
This is a bit more appropriate.
