MLB Standing Predctions

Well, we're winding down on the 2011 season. This season is fairly unsurprising in terms of who seems to be a playoff team vs. the teams who are going to be left out in the dust (with the exception of the Diamondbacks who I don't think anyone had going to the playoffs heading into the season). With about 30 - 35 games left in the season, I thought I'd give me predictions for the final standings of the season. Feel free to leave yours in the comments section.
