MLB Predictions: NL West
By Matt Veasey
The TBOH staff was polled for their predictions on the expected order of finish in each of the six MLB divisions, the outcome of the MLB playoffs, and the winners of some of the major MLB awards for the coming 2015 season.
Below are the results for the expected order of finish in the National League Central. The Los Angeles Dodgers are our clear front-runners, with 8 of the 9 TBOH staffers picking Jimmy Rollins‘ new ball club to win out in the wild, wild west.

We’re clearly drinking the San Diego Padres kool-aid, with 6 of 9 taking the Friars for 2nd, and one of us even tossing them a division-winning vote. The defending World Series champion San Francisco Giants are, unfortunately, facing an “odd” year, which means 3rd place according to our voters.
At the bottom of the division there is little doubt from the TBOH staff: the Arizona Diamondbacks for 4th, and the Colorado Rockies for the basement. Each club received 7 of 9 votes for those specific places in the standings.
