Saturday, April 02, 2005ESPN Predictions GaloreESPN.com has its "expert" predictions online. They have 19 contributors making different predictions. Fifteen of these people are picking the Angels to win the AL West, while 18 of 19 are picking the Yankees and Red Sox to split the AL East and Wild Card (someone actually picked the Indians to win the WC) and the Twins are picked for the AL Central 16 times.

Only three people are picking the Angels to make the World Series, winning two of them, while the Twins are picked 7 times, winning 4, the Yankees are picked 5 times, winning 4, and the Red Sox are picked 4 times, winning 3.
