Baseball is a long season.\u00a0 While every game is potentially important, a win here and a loss there most likely isn\u2019t going to make or break a teams\u2019 post season chances.\u00a0 So with half the 2014 season out of the way, many are ready to settle on the division winners but we\u2019re not so sure.<\/p>\n
The Los Angeles Dodgers were the perennial favorites not only to win the NL West but to win the whole kit and caboodle.\u00a0 \u00a0With a staggering $239 million payroll, everyone expected the all-star packed lineup to waltz into the post season.\u00a0 But as they say, that\u2019s why we play the game.\u00a0 The San Francisco Giants certainly made a name for themselves in May finishing the month with a 8-2 run.\u00a0 But they stumbled mid June leaving the door wide open for the Dodgers as the two will likely enter the all star break with similar records.<\/p>\n
While the Milwaukee Brewers appear to be on cruise control in the NL Central, the same can\u2019t be said in the NL East where two unfamiliar names are fighting for the top spot in the Washington Nationals and the Miami Marlins.\u00a0 But Atlanta, with a mid-of-the-pack payroll, look to stay in front behind the likes of Justin and BJ Upton.<\/p>\n
Like the Brewers, the Oakland As are pacing themselves for a 100 win season and should continue to power through the AL West.\u00a0\u00a0 The Detroit Tigers have a similar position in the Central Division.<\/p>\n
But the most interesting scenario is heating up in the AL East.\u00a0 The Toronto Blue Jays and the Baltimore Orioles are working hard to keep the Yankees and the Red Sox out of the post season.\u00a0 The Os, with a team salary less than half of the Bronx Bombers, are doing things the old fashioned way behind the bats of Nick Markakis and Adam Jones.\u00a0 We expect a heated second half of the season in this division.<\/p>\n
