What's your predictions on who the Divisional winners will be at the end of the regular season?

I thought about your question during the day. Here are my predictions:

NL East - Atlanta Braves (I think they'll hold off the Mets and Phillies)
NL Central - St. Louis Cardinals (Better team than the Reds)
NL West - San Diego Padres (Dodgers might make a run)

AL East - New York Yankees (They're putting it all together)
AL Central - Minnesota Twins (The White Sox made a run the last few weeks)
AL West - Texas Rangers (Cliff Lee might be all the difference)

That being said, who knows.
