Who will win the NL West?

[barman]

Giants have very strong pitching but are weak offensively. I like them as the long shot with their pitching vs Arizona who is just way too loaded this year with offense (after they themselves last season were weak offensively).

SF 5 games back is who I'll root for they have a nice young rotation with LINCECUM, CAIN and Sanchez.

The NL west has become the AL West. For a few years the AL West had Losing records for the winner.

It is a tough pick, AZ or LA. I'm going with AZ only because LA doesn't score much. Doesn't do the " little things " to win ball games.

 

[OTK]

The Dodgers are my pick to represent the NL in the World Series, so of coarse I think they win the division as well. Their pitching is amazing, and just wait till Penny gets it going again.
