Your NL West "Preview"

Your NL East "Preview"
We should probably warn you: The Phillies are one of those teams we pick to win the National League East a lot. If you haven't noticed, they haven't won the NL East in a long, long time. But we're gonna try again anyway....

Continuing their rather impressive rampage through the college basketball landscape that the Hoops Odyssey kids are on, they've found some rather, uh, spirited female Duke fans....

Your AL Central "Preview"
